Some of the hardworking, cheerful Mayfest team who baked, did bacon baps, served drinks, snacks and pasties and raised funds for the charity we are supporting this year, Women’s Centre Cornwall. Good fun was had by all!

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere. 💜

International Women’s Day is a moment to reflect on the progress women have made, the challenges that remain, and the power of women coming together to support one another. Through friendship, community action, and shared learning, women continue to make a positive difference in our communities every day.

How have you given to gained?

The theme for IWD 2026 is “Give to Gain”, encouraging individuals, organisations, and communities to give generously to support women's advancement, emphasising that when people give their time, resources, knowledge, and support, opportunities for women increase and we all benefit.

We’re asking members to share their stories with us throughout the month of February, highlighting the ways in which you or your WI have benefitted from others' "giving" e.g. mentoring, scholarships, childcare support, activism, or community resources. This could also include stories of how you have ‘given and gained’.

Email us your stories at [email protected] so we can share them on our social media for International Women’s Day.
