Soroptimists international is a world-wide network of women who work together to Educate, Empower and Enable women world- wide to achieve their potential and strive for peace.


The Pontypridd branch has been in existence for 60 years and has supported local and international charities extensively during that time, providing support for Women’s Aid, the local food bank, the Mayor’s Appeal and many others. Internationally, the most recent support was given to funding Bangla Cymru’s hospital in Chittagong and in enabling a woman health worker to undertake outreach work with families and children in the surrounding community.

It is with great sadness that the group has decided to disband due to a lack of new members and the age profile of existing members, but we are very pleased that our chain of office now has a safe home in Pontypridd Museum so that the efforts, contributions and aspirations of several generations of women from the area can be remembered and celebrated.
