Along with a number of other Soroptimists across Scotland, club members Jenifer McFarlane and Carol Roxburgh had signed up to complete the Glasgow Kiltwalk in April.  One of the many casualties of the pandemic, it lead to them taking part in a virtual Kiltwalk  11 - 13 September. They raised over £600 in sponsorship for the SIGBI Federation Project Empowering Girls in Nepal Jenifer was accompanied on her walk from Johnstone to Lochwinnoch and back by Maureen Collison, a member of SI Dundee, while Carol walked with her niece Marissa.

Soroptimists in  lockdown have been busy keeping in contact and looking at how to continue their work, including through donations to Renfrewshire  Foodbank, Women’s Aid and the STAR project. Maggie Mackean a longstanding Soroptimist,  got on her bike for the 2.6 Challenge in aid of Marie Curie.  She said she had not ridden a bike for about 50 years, but successfully completed 26 minutes riding round her local area raising much needed funds in the process.
