Soroptimist International

South West

and Channel Islands Region

 Welcome to the website for the South West and Channel Islands Region

 of Soroptimist International.  

If you have clicked onto this site by accident I hope you will spare a  few minutes to read about what we do and why we exist. 

Soroptimists believe in service to the community.

We are an international organisation and for us the community covers not only our local area from St Austell in Cornwall to Cirencester in Gloucestershire, taking in Jersey and Guernsey on the way, but also the United Kingdom and countries far afield like Nigeria and  Sierra Leone.

We want to make a difference to the lives of women and  young girls and we do this through our Programme Action work.

However it  is not all work and the strength of the organisation is founded on the  friendships which bind us together.

Norna Brown, President 2008 - 2009  

Member of SI Taunton
