about us

We are the SOFA Club - an animal action group based at Thorpe House Langley Preparatory School, Norwich. SOFA stands for 'Speak Out For Animals' - and that's exactly what we do.

We started the SOFA Club, in 2003, with fifteen girls and at one time we had just under a hundred members! At the end of an English lesson, a group of girls asked me if we could form an animal action club, so we did and some of those girls are still active members of the Club today.

I am so proud of the SOFA Club because members have discovered that they are able to take positive action when something really concerns them and that they really can make changes for the better. Writing persuasive letters and engaging in debate with MPs and celebrities, appearing on television and being involved in radio discussions has shown them that they can influence change.

SOFA has proved that young people can make a difference!

SOFA is the voice of the voiceless; our aim is to Speak Out For Animals and that is what we try to do.
