BCFWI - Bedfordshire County Federation of Womens Institutes

Bedfordshire is the smallest Shire County in England, and has borders with Cambridgeshire in the east, Hertfordshire in the south, Northamptonshire in the north and Buckinghamshire in the west. We currently have 83 WI’s in the County with a membership of over 2900.

Our first WI was formed in 1917, six of the inaugural WI’s have survived and they celebrated their centenaries in 2018. The Federation was formed in September, 1919 and we are celebrating our Centenary in 2019 at our registered office is in Adelaide Square in the County Town of Bedford.

Every WI’s is unique, some are very small others much larger with other 100 members. They are based in village and town areas and there activities vary as to their size, location and collective interests. As well as their regular monthly meeting when members listen to a speaker, learn a new skill and enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine they read the Federation newsletter, plan their own outings or book on to events the Federation have organised. Our members enjoy a wide variety of actives, including ladies that lunch or coffee morning groups, walking/rambling, book and craft clubs and get involved with National Campaigns.
