The WI is here to inspire you<br />

We are about inspiring women through experiences, knowledge and skills.<br />

These are passed down through generations and updated every day.<br />

The WI is everything you want it to be<br />

Whatever your reason for joining, we offer all kinds of opportunities to all<br />

kinds of women. For some it’s a chance to meet people and catch up with<br />

friends. For others it’s a way to learn new skills and campaign on issues that affect the wider<br />

community.<br />

The WI is what you make of it<br />

WIs come in all shapes and sizes and our members can be involved in the way that suits them.<br />

The Women's Institute (WI) was formed in <strong>19</strong>15 to revitalise rural communities and encourage<br />

women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War.<br />

Since then our aims have broadened and we are now the largest voluntary women's<br />

organisation in the UK. We celebrated our centenary in 2015 and currently have almost 220,000<br />

members in approximately 6,300 WIs. We play a unique role in providing women with<br />

educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of<br />

activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.<br />

The WI is the largest women’s voluntary organisation in the UK and as such, we are regularly<br />

asked for our opinions, thoughts and ideas on a huge range of different topics. The size of the<br />

organisation and the respect given to members as a result of their engagement in local, regional<br />

and national issues, as well as their skills and expertise in a huge range of topics.<br />

<strong>Lymington</strong> WI meetings are held at the <strong>Lymington</strong> Centre on the second Wednesday morning of<br />

the month at 9.30 am. Visitors are very welcome.<br />
