Women Working Together to Make a Difference

There are large areas of this website that are only available to Soroptimists once they have signed in with the UKPAC password.

If you are a Soroptimist but are not aware of the password, your club or Region's Programme Action Officer will be able to help you.

Not a member?
If you are not yet a Soroptimist, but the work of our organisation appeals to you, why not join a club near you and help us? Check to see which is your nearest club. If you are a woman in business or the professions or a similar occupation (or perhaps just starting out on a career) and interested in working with like-minded women who care about the world around them, just send us an email telling us briefly about yourself. We would love to hear from you.

What we do

The United Kingdom Programme Action Committee (UKPAC) provides help and guidance to Soroptimist clubs in the UK in devising, planning and carrying out their project work (known as Programme Action).

Although called the UK PAC, in addition to working with clubs in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, we also work with clubs in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. And since its inception in 1994 the Committee has established a reputation for taking action on a broad range of topics and successfully lobbying the British government in the pursuit of those objectives.

Speedy and efficient communications are crucial to the furtherance of successful Programme Action work. It is always a two-way process and the UKPAC forms an important link between Soroptimist International and the membership of the British Isles.
