In line with my <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/presidents-message\/\">theme<\/a> of collaboration and longterm impacts, I asked our South Lancashire clubs to join in a collective project. I hoped a pledge of \u00a320 would meet with approval. It did! So the donations have now been match-funded, as agreed, by our Regional executive team.<\/p>\n<p>Together at a Region meeting <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/2025\/06\/07\/soroptimists-lend-with-care\/\">we chose entrepreneurs<\/a> through the charity <a href=\"https:\/\/lendwithcare.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LendwithCare<\/a> and have set up loans towards their small businesses. Already some instalments for the loans are being repaid.<\/p>\n<p>In recognition of the collaborative nature of this year&#8217;s challenge, the beautiful rosebowl will be on display at each Region meeting for the next year for all to see.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Collaborate and plant the trees under whose<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>shade we will not sit !<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2024<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Region President Pam<\/strong> linked her challenge to her theme &#8216;Rise Up and Roar&#8217;. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6294\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2024\/09\/2024-09-Region-President-Pam-with-Carole-Swarbrick-SI-Manchester-Region-rosebowl-winners-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2024\/09\/2024-09-Region-President-Pam-with-Carole-Swarbrick-SI-Manchester-Region-rosebowl-winners-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2024\/09\/2024-09-Region-President-Pam-with-Carole-Swarbrick-SI-Manchester-Region-rosebowl-winners-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2024\/09\/2024-09-Region-President-Pam-with-Carole-Swarbrick-SI-Manchester-Region-rosebowl-winners.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Clubs were invited to describe how they have, indeed, risen up and roared.
