Who we are

At Soroptimist International St Helens, we are proud to be part of a global movement working to improve the lives of women and girls. For more than 84 years, our members have supported local communities, championed important causes and built lasting friendships. We are women from different backgrounds and experiences, united by a shared commitment to making a meaningful contribution while enjoying companionship, learning and a sense of purpose.

Our Work

At Soroptimist International St Helens, we raise funds, campaign, and take practical action to improve the lives of women and girls. Through projects that support health and wellbeing, education, community partnerships, international development, and WaterAid, we work locally, nationally, and globally to create opportunities, tackle inequality, and help women and girls reach their full potential, while enjoying friendship and fun along the way.

Breast Cancer Awareness

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are collecting donated bras at locations across St Helens and beyond to raise vital funds for breast cancer research. Every bra donated helps generate much-needed support for life-changing research, while also promoting recycling and sustainability. It’s a simple way for our community to come together, make a difference, and support those affected by breast cancer.

Fuel

We were delighted to welcome Gail from Fuel to one of our recent speaker meetings, where she shared the incredible work the organisation does across St Helens to support local people, reduce loneliness, and improve mental health and wellbeing. Inspired by their impact, we were proud to support Fuel by raising funds to help purchase equipment for their sensory room, creating a welcoming space where people can feel supported, connected, and valued.

Food Pantry

We are delighted to continue supporting the Food Pantry at St Matthew’s, a service that helps people to help themselves during difficult times. The pantry offers much more than food support, providing a welcoming place where people can enjoy a warm drink, find companionship, access practical help, and feel part of their community. We are proud to support an initiative that makes such a positive difference to local lives.
