The WI is a unique organisation shaped by its members. In 1915, we set out to give women a voice and to be a force for good in the community. Since then, our members and our ambitions alike have grown tremendously. Today, we are the largest women’s organisation in the UK, and we pride ourselves on being a trusted place for women of all generations to share experiences, learn together and inspire change.
Through our democratic resolutions process and broad campaigning agenda, members identify and learn about important topics such as climate change, mental health, access to dental care, river pollution and much more. These campaigns spark learning, broaden awareness, shape public conversation, and inspire members to advocate for positive change at local and national levels.
A WI membership offers the chance to connect with local women, both in-person and virtually, fostering friendships and making a positive impact. Members can take part in a range of lifelong learning and self-development activities, explore ideas that matter, and help shape national campaigns that tackle issues that effects women and communities across England and Wales.
