SI Surrey Hills is your local branch of Soroptimist International. We are a busy club, working on our projects to educate, empower and enable women and girls, both here and across the world. Currently we are examining local plans to challenge and tackle violence against women and girls and hold authorities to account. But we also work on smaller (but no less important) projects – collecting bras and new knickers for Smalls for All, who pass them on to women and girls in need, writing letters to cancer sufferers with From Me To You, or supporting Your Sanctuary, Surrey’s local women’s refuge, with necessities and gifts.
These are just a few of our current projects. But we want to do more! That’s where you come in…..
What do you get out of it? A sense of helping others, working on projects which directly help women and girls both locally and throughout the world, talks which educate you, regional meetings and our annual Conference, where over 1,000 women gather to debate and learn. Soroptimist International gets the benefit of your skills and enthusiasm. And women and girls across the world get the support and recognition they deserve.
If you would like to find out more about Soroptimism in general and SI Surrey Hills in particular, we would be delighted to see you at one of our meetings. Please contact us through this website and our Membership Co-ordinator will be in touch.
We look forward to seeing you!
Celebrating Inspirational Women in Surrey Hills to mark International Women’s Day
The UN’s 2025 theme for International Women’s Day is For All Women and Girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment. It calls for “action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change.”
As part of our action this year, we are shining a light on local women who have transformed and shaped the communities in which they live and work, creating a legacy that continues to inspire and transform future generations. Twelve inspirational women are being recognised in a ‘blue plaque’ display at Godalming Library, near Waitrose, curated by Surrey Hills Soroptimists and running during March.
