What we do

With over 205,000 members in 6,500 WIs, the Women's Institute is a diverse organisation.

This section covers the wide-ranging activities and opportunities that are open to WI members. From craft, competitions and cookery, to news and an online shop, we have also included information on specialist roles open to members in this section. You can also find out more about WI Life magazine and download a range of resources such as the WI logo and promotional materials.

			Craft has always played an important role in the WI. These pages include an update on the Textile Treasures Archive, craft projects to download and information about developing existing skills and learning new ones.

Food and cooking The Women's Institute is often associated with food, cooking and healthy eating. These pages include information on our home economics activities, a range of meat, vegetarian and sweet recipes, and an insight into the work we do today around food and healthy eating. You can also discover how the WI came to be associated with jam!
