 National Federation of WIs

The National Federation of WIs (NFWI) are based in London and oversee all the Federations across the UK.

In 1915, NFWI set out to give women a voice and to be a force for good in their local community. Today, the WI is the largest women’s organisation in the UK and we pride ourselves on being a trusted place for all women of all generations to come together, to share experiences and learn from each other. To find out more about how our ambitions have flourished visit NFWI.

Suffolk West Federation of WIs

Every WI in West Suffolk belongs to Suffolk West Federation of WIs (SWFWI).

Run by a team of Trustees, SWFWI oversees all Suffolk West WIs offering support and guidance.

The Trustees are supported by the Federation Secretary and a diverse range of teams who organise events and workshops to keep inspiring members and future generations.

Your WI

Every WI is a safe space for women that opens up a world of opportunities through new experiences and friendships. Each of our WIs are unique and shaped by its members.

WIs meet monthly and are run by a committee who plan a varied calendar of speakers and demonstrators, as well as extra activities throughout the year – this could be lunch dates, wine tasting or a regular book club. Discover a WI on your doorstep here
