An interesting and inspiring day was had by members of SI Widnes at the recent Regional Conference.
First we were welcomed by Ann Hodgson Soroptimist International Federation President, then we were inspired by Emily Rose Yates- Emily Rose Yates Paralympic Games maker and author of Lonely Planet Accessible Rio Guide followed by Mike Hogan Chair of Trustees for Classrooms in the Clouds.

After a leisurely lunch, we were once again inspired by DS Sharon Smith from W Midlands Police talking about her work around arranged marriage, forced marriage and domestic abuse; Victoria Whittaker from War Child War Child; and last but not least the very lively and energetic Sarah Brook CEO and Founder of Sparkle Malawi, a philanthropic organisation established to create brighter, sustainable futures for vulnerable people around the world.
