Young Achievers

In September 2013 the Soroptimists International of Wigan launched a search for young achievers in the Borough to mark the 70th anniversary of the charter of the Club   We wanted to find a young person who set an example of commitment or courage, or some one who had a similar outlook to Soroptimist international – of inspiring action transforming lives. The age range for nominees required  was 11 – 26 years who were to be members of the Guides or Senior Section Guide units in our catchment area – Haigh and Aspull, Shevington, Springfield, Standish, Wigan North, Wigan Central, Worsley Mesnes, Ince, Hindley, Pemberton, Ashton and Golborne. The search ended in November as we were introduced to Hannah Ward a 14 year old who has for the greater part of her life served the needs of children in the Borough through her dedication to the Charity Butterflies.

The 2014 SI Charity Ball was held at the DW Stadium Wigan ( South Stand ) on the 1st of March 2014. Over 160 guests attended , more than £4800  was raised on the night and a good time was had by all.             There was a very good support from the local community and local businesses, including those from Leigh and Bolton who also supported the event.               The MC for the night Mr Dave Guest worked very hard as usual and helped to swell the Charity fund with a sponsored dance.
