Welcome to SI Scotland South

Our President's Message

Welcome to the website of Soroptimist International (SI) Scotland South Region (SSR), a service organisation for professional women.

The mission of Soroptimist clubs throughout the world is to strive to advance human rights and the status of women.
The clubs in Scotland South Region are involved in local, national and international projects to raise awareness, act as advocates and take action to meet the organisation’s mission. Many clubs support national campaigns such as ‘Fairtrade Fortnight’ and ‘End Water Poverty’ while also linking into local issues and raising funds for local charities. At an international level all Soroptimists are supporting a four year partnership project titled Project SIerra – A family and a future, which aims to provide a secure, caring family home for children living alone in Sierra Leone, West Africa. More information is available at www.projectSIerra.org.

Scotland South Region consists of 16 clubs – Dumbarton, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Girvan, Glasgow Central, Glasgow South, Glasgow West, Greenock, Hamilton, Kirkcaldy, Kirkintilloch, Motherwell & Wishaw, Paisley, Stirling and West Lothian. Members attend regular club meetings and enjoy fun and friendship while taking action. The clubs come together five times a year and the next Region meeting takes place on Saturday 12 January 2008 at Craigforth, Stirling.

I have just returned from the annual conference of the SI Federation of Great Britain and Ireland in Harrogate at which I was installed as the President of SSR to October 2008.
My theme for the year is three ‘Cs’ consult, communicate and change. Like all aspects of life, Soroptimists continue to be dynamic and adaptable in response to the changing world.

If you are interested in attending a club meeting near you in Scotland South or wish to chat with a Soroptimist to gain more information about the organisation please email the clubs system administrator with your contact details.
