SI Hoylake and West Kirby Projects
Each Soroptimist International club identifies the needs of its community, then establishes specific projects to address these needs. All our projects relate to one or more of the six Programme Focus Areas: Economic and Social Development, Education, Environment, Health, Human Rights and the Status of Women, and International Goodwill and Understanding.
More information is available in the Our Work pages, where you can read more about the current Programme Focus aims and the Quadrennial Project, supported by all clubs in the Federation.

Hoylake Cottage Hospital
With this non-NHS supported trust in our area we can see for ourselves what a wonderful asset this Hospital is to the area. It is now being extended, and will cover many more aspects of care for the elderly. Many of our members work in the Hospital in a v
Ockendon Project
We give on-going support to this project by collecting foreign coins, spent computer cartridges and old mobile phones.
