Find your community today by going to in person or virtual meetings.

Following our announcement on 3 December regarding changes to our membership policy from April 2026, we are in the process of updating our EDI Policy and other materials. Therefore, please bear in mind that information on these pages is not up to date and does not yet reflect these changes. We will be in touch with members with additional updates and guidance in the coming months, but in the meantime, please contact us at inclusion@nfwi.org.uk with any queries.

Join your local WI or find out about our virtual WIs!
Each WI is unique and will be happy to discuss their calendar of events with prospective members.
