May is Membership Month for Soroptimists and we are hoping to bring you the views of some of our members and the reason they joined the Soroptimists. Below is our first member who has risen to the challenge of why !
I became a Soroptimist because I was inspired by their mission to support and empower women and girls, locally and internationally. In the 18 months I’ve been a member, I have been involved in a project scrutinising the way victims of domestic violence are supported in our courts, as well as fundraising for our chosen charities and increasing my knowledge of the groups supporting women in the Wigan area. I am looking forward to being involved in more projects and learning more about what it is to be a soroptimist.
We are hoping to meet in a local cafe where people can come and chat and find out more. Watch this space for details of our next Orange Cafe.
