Soroptimist International Tamworth members hosted their 76th Charter Lunch at Whittington Heath Golf Club, in the year that also celebrates 90 years of Soroptimist International having clubs and members in Great Britain and Ireland, Asia and the Caribbean.
Club President Alison Allerson, and club members welcomed the Mayor of Tamworth, Councillor Gareth Coates, and guests from other local Soroptimist International Clubs and local charities.
The event also provided an opportunity for SI Tamworth to distribute cheques to the local charities that they have raised money for this past year. Former President Vicky Vernon presented cheques to the Phoenix Project at St Giles Hospice, which is the president’s charity, and also other local charities: Cohort 4; Dementia Caring (Lichfield and Tamworth); Home-start Tamworth; the Heart of Tamworth Community Project; St. Giles Hospice, the Staffordshire Pathway Project and the Soroptimist International Foundation.
