Soroptimist International of Southend on Sea and District is part of a worldwide organisation of women, which is linked to the United Nations.

Welcome to SI Southend on Sea and District

Are you interested in making the world a better place for women and girls? This could be the club for you! Come along to a meeting and find out about Soroptimism locally, nationally and across the world!

Southend Soroptimist Club was founded in 1953. We are a lively and friendly group of women, with a strong sense of purpose. We have around 18 members from all walks of life and meet regularly – our meetings and social events are well attended. Please take time to browse our site. You will find our Programme for the Year as well as news about all our club’s social activities. You can find out about this year’s meetings and what we do – we call that our Programme Action.

We welcome new members! Women who live in our area and think Soroptimism sounds interesting, can contact us, come along to one of our meetings and check us out! We meet on the third Monday of each month at the Garon Park Golf Complex, Eastern Avenue, Southend.

You can contact us at sisouthend@gmail.com  Visit our new Facebook page Southend Soroptimists. We update our pages regularly with information about our projects so please visit again soon.
