What is the Red Hat Society? 

We are a global society that connects, supports and encourages women in their pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness. The Society was founded in the USA in 1998 by Sue Ellen Cooper, and is based on the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph (click here to read it).

We welcome all ladies.

After the age of 50 we wear red hats and purple clothing.

Ladies under 50 may join, but wear pink hats and lavender clothing.

We all, however, wear a smile and we all look forward to making lasting friendships!

As a Red Hat, you can expect:

FUN: we celebrate life at every stage;

FRIENDSHIP: we solidify and support the expansion of the bonds of sisterhood;

FREEDOM: we discover and explore new interests and renew abandoned ones;

FULFILLMENT: we realise our personal potential;

FITNESS: we embrace healthy, life-lengthening lifestyles by maintaning a thriving social networking community, and offering a variety of services and group experiences.

The Red Hat Society supports our members to get the most out of life.                              

LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH
