Welcome to SI Yeovil, Sherborne and Districts
Are you a woman who wants to make a difference? Soroptimists do! We stand up for women and girls around the world.
We have been established in the area for over 70 years. We are women from a variety of ages, backgrounds and occupations with one mission; that through education and empowerment, we enable women and girls to achieve their individual and collective potential.
We meet on a monthly basis at the Manor Hotel, Yeovil and have a number of informal friendly gatherings at other venues.
As an international organisation with Consultative status at the United Nations, we maintain a neutral position on Party Politics and Sectarian Religion. We do, however, lobby politicians at all levels on issues that have an impact on the lives of women and girls – health; education; all forms of violence and sexual exploitation, trafficking and all issues of equality.
We actively engage in projects to meet the aims mentioned above through what we call ‘Programme Action’. This is fed up through our organisation to the UN ensuring that we retain our status.
As part of a network of clubs within our south west region, our country and wider Federation we really can make a difference.
If you would like to know about us here in Yeovil & Sherborne areas then do contact us. You are most welcome to meet with members for an informal chat.
