A very warm welcome from all of us at the Torquay & District Soroptimist International which we are all leading this year. Each of us are taking a turn to wear the President’s regalia and believe that a job shared is a job halved, so we are in a win win win situation!
The main focus of our work is Programme Action, through our work we support a variety of projects, at home and abroad. We have all been touched by cancer and agree that no one should face cancer alone so Macmillan, FORCE, Bowel Cancer & the Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns all have our support. Our ladies regularly take up the Sleep Walk challenge to raise money for the local Rowcroft Hospice.
We provide practical help for the many people suffering from dementia by knitting twiddlemuffs and blankets, members regularly help at the Purple Angel Memory Café, and we are looking forward to the WRAD event later in the spring.
Continuing to support international projects, raising money for the Meru Garden Project and collecting items for back packs for Mary’s Meals.
We look forward to another busy year, in which we enjoy working alongside our friends and help make a difference to this world we live in.
