What do you think of when you hear about the Women's Institutes? Jam making and cake baking, or Fairtrade and Keep Britain Tidy? If you think you know about the WI, it's time to think again!
For over 90 years, the Women's Institutes have been a positive force in British women's lives, campaigning on many significant issues for rural communities, as well as issues affecting millions of lives across the globe.
Membership of a Women's Institute is also about fun, friendship and being part of a network of support,
We established our WI in 2004 and wanted to make it somewhere to go and make new friends and in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We all wanted to see what we could do for the local and wider community and to become more involved with issues that affect all of our lives. We have busy lives and members range from new Mums to running businesses and enjoying retirement.
