Who we are
We are the friendly local club of the global women’s organisation Soroptimist International. We are part of the Region of Southern England and Channel Islands, where we all use sunflowers as a visual identity!
A club by women for women, where everyone is heard
Our aim is simple – to make the world a better place for women and girls. We do this through delivering projects at a local, national and international level.
We also value the friendship that membership of our organisation gives us.
We work on projects that inspire us, and deliver positive outcomes for women and girls, and we have a lot of fun along the way!
