Women’s Institute

The Garden Village Women’s Institute (WI) meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month (except in August), between 7.30pm and 9.00pm in the Village Hall.

Come along to see if it’s for you; you will be made very welcome

Nationally, the WI is a unique organisation shaped by its members.  In 1915, we set out to give women a voice and to be a force for good in their communities. Since then, our members and our ambitions alike have grown tremendously. Today, we are the largest women’s organisation in the UK, and we pride ourselves on being a trusted place for all women to share experiences and learn from each other. We campaign nationally on a wide range of issues, and provide life-long learning, and self-development opportunities for women.

In addition to our monthly meetings, we also have a book group and a walking (gentle strolling?) group that both meet monthly, and we organise other social activities such as theatre trips and lunches. There are also learning and social activities organised by Northumberland Federation.
