The WI
Inspiring women - then and now
​
The WI is a unique organisation shaped by its members. In 1915, they set out to give women a voice and to be a force for good in the community.
​
Today, they are the largest women’s organisation in the UK and they pride themselves on being a trusted place for all women of all generations, to share experiences and learn from each other.
​
A WI membership offers the opportunity to meet women in your local area in-person and virtually, to make friends and make a difference in your community.
