If you’d like to find out more about joining our club, you can get in touch with us here and we’ll be happy to tell you more about our club – in person, over a coffee, or online if that’s more convenient. We’ll also invite you to a meeting, so you can get a feel for what we do and who we are.
Here’s Carolyn, one of our most recent members, to tell you about her experience.
I really appreciated being invited to 3 meetings, with no pressure to join. Everyone was generous with their time and kind words and I was able to absorb the aims of the group.
I was struck by the knowledge, experience and love for life of these women and really wanted to get to know them better – and benefit from their experiences!

Once you become a member, there’s lots of support to help you settle in. Veronica tells us about her experience below.
It became clear from very early on that this was a local group of knowledgeable and dedicated ladies with the innate ability to make everyone feel valued and welcome. I appreciated Marion taking on the role of my mentor and the couple of chats we had over coffee were relaxed and encouraging. The local group has a healthy social life and I think this is very important for new members to get to know existing members and find out more about the organisation in a nice informal setting.
Veronica, right, being welcomed to the club by member Anne in 2024.
We’re all from different backgrounds and have different interests but we share a set of common values. Friendship, a commitment to supporting women and girls, and a desire to serve are at the heart of why we are Soroptimists. This underpins not only our membership of our local club, but also our connection to a wider, international network of women we proudly call our sisters.
Most women are Soroptimists…they just don’t know it yet. We’d love to welcome you to the sisterhood.
