Light it up

Uniting to take action, working together to serve

Who are we?

Ladies Circle Switzerland is a dynamic and modern service club, bringing together active women under the age of 45 from all professions and backgrounds. Despite our differences, we are united by a shared desire: to make a tangible contribution to society through charitable initiatives, whilst forging sincere and lasting friendships across Switzerland.

A message from the President:

Welcome to Ladies Circle Switzerland

‘Light it up!’ is much more than just a motto to me: it is the cause closest to my heart during my term of office.

I am firmly convinced that within each of us lies incredible potential. Sometimes it already shines brightly; sometimes it is still waiting to be discovered. At Ladies Circle Switzerland, we create the space needed to bring precisely this light to the fore.

What does “Light it up” mean?

Connection and support: we forge bonds between women and among friends. We are there for one another to encourage each other to reach our full potential. When we truly support one another, a spark turns into a blazing fire.

Growth and learning: together, we learn from one another, share our experiences and grow, both personally and as a community.

Impact on the wider world: it is only by letting our inner light shine that we can truly make a difference in society. We get involved where help is needed and bring about positive change in the world through our social projects.

Ladies Circle is all about service and friendship. But the real magic happens when we support one another unconditionally as women. Because when we shine together, we move the world.

Let’s learn, grow and do good together.

Light it up !

The Clubs

LC1 Zürich

A warm welcome to Ladies’ Circle 1 Zurich.

We’re delighted you’re here and visiting our website.

With the chartering of Ladies’ Circle 1 Zurich in March 2014, Ladies’ Circle Switzerland was also established. Since then, we have been working with heart and dedication in and around Zurich under the motto ‘Friendship and Service’.

We meet once or twice a month for our legendary Circle evenings. Sometimes we enjoy a cosy dinner, sometimes we go on exciting company tours, have a sparkling champagne evening at Mövenpick, or take part in our infamous axe-throwing.

Would you like to get to know us or even become a member? Then feel free to get in touch with our President, Eileen. We look forward to meeting you in person.

LC2 Nyon La Côte

The Nyon Ladies’ Circle was the second club of its kind to be established in Switzerland. Founded just over 10 years ago, the club enjoyed a successful run thanks to a group of motivated and close-knit women. Their flagship charity initiative was a clothes swap, which raised no less than 10,000 Swiss francs.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of new members, the club went dormant in 2024.

It is only since January 2026 that a group of more than 10 prospective members has been keen to revive this wonderful venture.

The town of Nyon is well represented by the Roundtable family. We also have Roundtable 20, as well as the Club 41 Lémanique, which spans from Geneva to Lausanne.

For the Ladies of Nyon, 2026 is a year of renewal. And by the end of the year, they plan to organise a grand induction evening open to all.
The Ladies Circle 2 Nyon is rising from the ashes like a phoenix.

LC3 Tessin

Ladies’ Circle Ticino (LC3)

Friendship, Service & the Spirit of Ticino

Ladies’ Circle Ticino (LC3) is the third Ladies’ Circle founded in Switzerland, proudly representing the Italian-speaking region of the country. Established in 2018 in Ascona, LC3 brings the international spirit of Ladies’ Circle to the heart of Ticino, a region known for its Mediterranean flair, strong community values and gioia di vivere.

As part of Ladies’ Circle Switzerland and the wider Ladies’ Circle International, LC3 connects women aged approximately 18 to 45 who share a passion for friendship, personal growth and meaningful service. While deeply rooted in our local community, we are equally connected to a global network of women committed to making a difference.

Since its foundation, the Circle has actively supported local initiatives, collaborated with regional charities and organised events that reflect the unique culture and needs of the Ticino area. Our commitment is best described by this motto: radici locali, visione internazionale. This is expressed through fundraising activities in support of the Val Bavona and Lavizzara communities, through contributions to institutions such as Istituto Sant’Eugenio in Locarno, and through themed charity events benefiting organisations like Make-A-Wish Switzerland, among many others.

A particular strength of LC3 is our ability to build partnerships with other women-led associations, creating a true spirit of regional female solidarity. Together, we organise benefit initiatives such as the Mercato per le Valli in Ascona, supporting local producers and artisans, as well as projects focused on women’s empowerment and community support.

And yes, sometimes our meetings include good food, laughter and a bit of sunshine, because service and friendship should also be joyful!

LC3 reflects the character of Ticino itself: open, warm, multilingual and welcoming. Living at the crossroads between Switzerland and Italy, we naturally embody cultural exchange and inclusivity.

Our meetings and events combine Swiss organisation with Italian creativity, a balance of structure and spontaneity that defines our identity.

As we like to say in Ticino: insieme facciamo la differenza!

LC4 Berne

The Ladies Circle Bern is a dedicated service club for women that combines friendship, personal growth and social engagement. As part of the international network Ladies’ Circle International, the club brings together women from Bern and the surrounding region who are keen to get actively involved in social projects whilst meeting new people. The Circle sees itself as a platform for exchange, support and shared commitment – rooted locally yet connected internationally.

At Ladies Circle Bern, women from diverse professional and personal backgrounds come together. This diversity is a central part of the club’s life and enriches the exchange among members. Regular meetings, joint activities and events create space for conversation and new ideas. We meet regularly at our regular haunt, Bella Vita in Wankdorf, for dinner together; in summer we enjoy swimming together in the Aare; and we visit the Christmas market in December at least once a year. At the same time, the association is passionately committed to social projects in the region and organises charity events, the proceeds of which go to good causes. Last year, for example, we were able to support the Pluto emergency shelter here in Bern, which caters for young people, through donations.

Membership of the Ladies Circle Bern offers the opportunity to become part of a strong network of committed women, make new friends and make a difference together.
