What is the Women’s Institute (WI)?
The WI is the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK! Just under 7,000 WI’s across the country. It “plays a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a variety of activities and campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities”. (NFI website). We would love you to come along and find out a little bit more about us, so feel free to come along to a meeting and introduce yourself, no need to tell us in advance. There is a small charge (£1) to come to a meeting as a guest, tea and cake included.
