The Grand Order of Lady Ratlings, established in the year of 1929, is a vibrant social association specifically created for Arts Professionals. Our mission is to foster a dynamic community where artists from various fields can network, collaborate, and discover genuine companionship. In addition to our core objectives, we are proud to support our charitable initiative, ‘The GOLR Cup of Kindness’ (reg 1101033), dedicated to providing assistance to those in need within our community and beyond.

The Cup Of Kindness tirelessly provides invaluable assistance to others who are in need, and the Grand Order of Lady Ratlings plays their part in raising the necessary funds by hosting a variety of events, exciting fundraisers, lodges, and shows!
These efforts are all geared towards supplying essential equipment, creating new opportunities, and offering assistance to those who reach out for support. Through our collective endeavours, we have proudly managed to help hundreds of individuals in need, as well as several remarkable organisations such as Riding for the Disabled, C.A.P.P.A cic, and Macmillan, demonstrating the tremendous impact of our commitment to community and compassion.

“The efforts of one person can't move mountains. It's the strength of us all working together that makes a change.”

LR Gabriella Pineda- Rodrigues.

“I love my job as a Professional Singer and everyday I count each blessing that comes with it, however working as a self employed sole trader can at times be lonely as you lack a ready made, support network on a daily basis. The Lady Ratlings has provided a social circle of inspirational women, who are not only friends, but people who intimately understand my line of work; that's an enormous thing to have in common with someone. Many of us that go into this field, are motivated by kindness and giving and the Lady Ratlings has provided a safe space for me to thrive in such ways. The cup of kindness is an inspirational charity that I'm proud to be affiliated with and the care and support us Lady Ratlings endeavour to give not just to one another, but also to the community is a very special thing indeed.”
