SI Weybridge and SI Woking got together at the end of September 2015 to organise a Charity Bridge Afternoon to raise funds for the Volunteering in Pretoria (VIP) project.
On a sunny afternoon in Pyrford, bridge enthusiasts gathered at the Church of the Good Shepherd to ply their card-playing skills on behalf of the Soroptimist International Southern England Regional project to send a volunteer to South Africa to gain experience working with charitable projects and experience the hospitality and beauty of the country. The successful candidate will benefit from the strong friendship links between SI Southern England and SI Tshwane and SI Durban in South Africa.
We sold books and raffle tickets and provided a delicious afternoon tea. £540 was raised for the Volunteering in Pretoria VIP project.
