SI The Fylde 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.
The projects listed below include some of the local and international issues we research and support in SI The Fylde:
Breast Screening Awareness
A joint project with other Clubs to raise awareness about the importance of Breast Screening.
The Club joined with other clubs in the Region to donate bras to be sent to Cyprus for the longest chain of bras to be created for an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
THEATRE WORKSHOPS
The Club is currently holding talks with our local Theatre in the hope that we can assist them in producing their education packs for drama workshops. WATCH THIS SPACE!!
