Welcome to the Southend Soroptimist Club
Welcome to the website of the Southend-on-Sea and District Soroptimist Club.
The Southend-on-Sea and District Club was founded in 1953. We are a lively and friendly group of women, with a strong sense of purpose! We have around 35 members from all walks of life and meet regularly - all our meetings and our social events are well attended. Our club is in the London Anglia Region and we enjoy meeting Soroptimists from across the region whenever we can.
Please take time to browse our site. You will find our Programme for the Year as well as news about all our club activities. You can find out about the meetings we have already held and things we have already done and members can get up-to-date messages and club news.
Programme Action is the heart of Soroptimism and we keep ACTION at the top of our agenda. Locally, we have held our own Peace Vigil at Hadleigh Castle and we fully support Project SIerra and raise funds for this Soroptimist International project on a regular basis. We also support our regional project in two Malawi schools - so far our club has purchased football kit and winter clothes for the children, and chairs for a classroom and are planning to do more.
The club also works hard at our own local projects. Each year our President nominates a local charity for us to support and we are also involved in supporting women and girls in our area. We like to think that every club member can do something - no matter how much or how little time she can give to Soroptimism.
We welcome new members! Women who live in our area and think Soroptimism sounds interesting, can contact us, come along to one of our meetings and check us out!
You can contact us at southendsoroptimists@blueyonder.co.uk
We update our pages regularly with information about our projects so please visit again soon.
Club members are asked to visit regularly so that we don’t need to contact everyone individually - thank you! Visit the Members Only page for the most recent club minutes. It’s password protected so - Southend members - get in touch if you haven’t got the password!
