SI South Lancashire President Pamela Wright OBE called on us to Rise Up and Roar at the opening of the 2024 SI South Lancashire Conference at Wrightington Hotel and Country Club on 11th May. What followed was a day of inspirational women, moving testimonials and thought-provoking presentations on micro-financing, charitable service, womens’ health and the challenges faced by those trying to support the safety and well-being of women and girls locally, nationally and internationally.  We had poetry, good food and interesting company. We were educated, moved and inspired by all we heard to go back to our clubs and to Rise Up and Roar.

Wigan Soroptimists meet each month to support the Orange Cafes campaign. The UNiTE campaign has proclaimed the 25th of each month as “Orange Day”, a day to raise awareness and take action to end violence against women and girls. As a bright and optimistic colour, orange represents a future free from violence against women and girls. Orange Day calls upon activists, to mobilize people and highlight issues relevant to preventing and ending violence against women and girls, not only once a year on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, but every month. Join us for coffee, a chat, some laughter and contribute to raising awareness of this important issue.
