Welcome to the Bath SI Website
Gillian Horigan, President for 2016-17
I’m Gillian Horigan, the current President of Bath Soroptimists. I’m particularly proud to be the President of our Club once more.
Bath SI is a friendly, active and motivated group of women of all ages who use our skills, experiences and talents to improve the lives of women and girls. We’re from all sorts of backgrounds, united in a determination to make a difference.
Our main activities are raising awareness, practical help, fundraising and lobbying.
We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month and are always looking for new members. Please take a look at our website and get in touch.
We’d love to hear from you!
The historic Roman City of Bath has a long association with the Suffragette movement so it is no surprise that there has been an active branch of Soroptimist International (SI) since 1925.
Soroptimists are women who come from a wide diversity of cultures and circumstances, and are dedicated to a unity of ideals:
- the sincerity of friendship
- the joy of achievement
- the dignity of service
- the integrity of profession
We are a vibrant, dynamic organisation for today’s women. We are committed to a world where women and girls together, can achieve their individual and collective potential, realise aspirations and have an equal voice in creating strong, peaceful communities worldwide.
Through international partnerships and a global network of members, Soroptimists inspire action and create opportunities to transform the lives of women and girls by: advocating for equity and equality; creating safe and healthy environments; increasing access to education; developing leadership and practical skills for a sustainable future.
A Soroptimist is a member of the largest international community service organisation for women. Benefits of membership include:
- the opportunity to work for change through direct involvement in local, national, and international service projects
- personal and professional growth
- leadership development
- networking for business as well as for social interaction
- a world-wide family of Soroptimist friends
