Soroptimist International Bath and District

As always the Presdiency changed at our AGM and Di has taken over from Jenny. Jenny was presented with a gift and thanked for the 2 years that she did espeically during covid. Di’s charity for the year will be Mummy’s Star, a charity that helps women during pregnancy and 3 months after who discover that they have cancer. We look forward to hearing from a representative at our next meeting.

To help highlight World Book Day, books were donated to a local charity Julian House who help people struggling with life in general such as homelessness and domestic abuse.

Paul, a volunteer from WaterAid attended our monthly meeting to give us an update on the charity. It’s a charity that we have supported for many years and we save up loose change throughout the year to donate to the charity.

It was a pleasure to hand over £200 to the charity and learn more about the overseas work that they do.

Members from the club met up with Wera Hobhouse MP to discuss possible future events highlighting women and girls, in and around Bath. It was good to learn how the Government system works and how many local organsiations could come together to make a bigger impact. We really hope that we can liaise with Wera and other women’s groups in the future.

Members from the club have been knitting hearts, blankets and baby hats for the Neonatal unit at the RUH.

What lovely colours to brighten up a special place.
