BRIDGNORTH WI CARNIVAL 2026!!
🍦🔥🌞🎡
What a fantastic day!!!
Bridgnorth WI were delighted to run our Jarbolla stall in support of Bridgnorth First Responders, helping to raise funds for the incredible work they do in our community.
Despite the extremely hot weather, our volunteers were absolutely amazing all day long — full of smiles, energy and community spirit. A huge thank you to everyone who helped, donated and came along to have a go.
We even had a special appearance from our very own Minion, who proved very popular with visitors young and old! 💛
Thank you, Bridgnorth, for your wonderful support — and well done to all involved in making the day such a success.

May's monthly was both fascinating and informative. We were joined by Stewart Fowler from The Rising Phoenix Clinic to tell us all about Japanese Integrated Medicine.
🌿🇯🇵 Japanese Integrated Medicine practitioners blend advanced modern healthcare with traditional Japanese healing methods to support the body, mind, and spirit. Common practices include Kampo herbal medicine, acupuncture, shiatsu massage, meditation, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle-based prevention. Rooted in centuries of wisdom from Japan, these practices focus on restoring balance, enhancing natural healing, and promoting long-term wellness through a holistic approach to health.🌿🇯🇵
We all participated in some exercises and he also did some one on one with volunteers.

A huge well done and thank you to our fantastic WI members who ran the water station at the Bridgnorth Walk yesterday! 💧👟
From early morning set-up to the last walkers coming through, you kept everyone going with smiles, encouragement, and much-needed refreshments along the route.
Events like this really show the best of our town, and we’re so proud that the WI could play a part in supporting such a brilliant local tradition.
Here’s to community spirit, teamwork, and a well-earned sit-down after a busy day. Well done all!

All of us at Bridgnorth WI are wishing all the luck to everyone participating in today's walk!

We welcomed Councillor Rachel Connolly to our March meeting.

Rachel gave us an interesting talk and insight into her rewarding year as Bridgnorth Mayor. It was fascinating to hear about the role and responsibilities of our Mayor in Bridgnorth, and to share the sense of pride that Rachel felt in her service to our wonderful town. Rachel donated her payment to a chosen charity that she supports.
Thank you, Rachel. Truly inspiring.
