The final day of the Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland 91st Conference. .
The Best Practice Award nominations were inspiring. The winner of the Delegates Choice Award will protect so many young lives. We said goodbye to the outgoing Federation President Ruth and offered a positive welcome to new Federation President Gillie with whom we look forward to working during the next two years as she heads the team. With renewed focus and energy, it was then au revoir, until we meet again, with friendships renewed,strengthened and many more created. It's back to work for women and girls.

What an inspiring couple of days, and it's not over yet! Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland 91st Conference in Birmingham. Yesterday saw the emotional opening ceremony with the flags of our constituent nations, islands and territories on display. Then three knowledgeable speakers in varied disciplines who have challenged us to do more.
Today's workshops, so many choices but only time to cover 4 each, what an amazing 4 I was fortunate to choose. They could have been dull subjects but they were delivered with such experience and passion, that you couldn't help but be enthused.
Then there's tomorrow, recognition of the very best programme action projects in our Federation, the Change of Insignia, our outgoing Federation President welcoming our new Federation President and the handover from outgoing Regional Presidents to new Regional Presidents. The opportunity to meet new friends and catch up with existing friends is a priceless part of conference attendance. Be a Soroptimist, you won't be disappointed.

It's October and it's nearly Halloween, a time of darkness, fear and anxiousness or a time of light in the darkness, the glow of warmth and an orange aura that surrounds everything? It's all about perspective, but on the 25th of every month we share orange, the colour of hope, the colour of eradicating violence against women and girls, because we will never up give shining a light until it ends.

Peer support is the most effective, there's not just empathy, there's sympathy, understanding and support from other survivors. If you believe that you would benefit please make contact with Peaches Womb Cancer Trust.
