Welcome to Soroptimist Poole, Purbeck and District

Working to Educate, Empower and Enable Women and Girls.

SI Poole was chartered in October 1952. We are proud of our history, and also that we are still working to make a better future for the women and girls of today. SI Poole, Purbeck and District is a friendly, active club.

Our members come from a variety of professional and business backgrounds, such as education, finance, health and marketing.

We get together to give service, share friendship and have fun!

If you are a woman who cares about the lives of other women and their families; if you would like to help your community, challenge your thinking on social issues and be part of an organisation with members in more than 100 countries, then why not consider joining us? You can be sure of a very warm welcome!

Soroptimists are women who help other women improve their lives by identifying and delivering projects.

The projects result in better education, health, emotional and financial development and stability. Working together to help disadvantaged women and girls, Soroptimist International has recently been called an ‘unstoppable force for good’ with Education, Enabling and Empowerment of Women at its heart.
