Our Three Peaks Challenge was held on 11th July and 10 WI members and supporters signed up to take part. The challenge was as hard as they could have imagined, but with the added heatwave, the conditions were incredibly difficult.

Rhian Connick Head of NFWI Wales took part and said “The Three Peaks Challenge was by far the hardest thing I have ever done, and the heatwave did not help matters, however despite this, I enjoyed the day, chatting to fellow walkers as we went along, and supporting each other when we needed a little push. It is always good to do something outside your comfort zone and give you something to aim for, the outcome for me was not as expected, but I am proud of what I achieved getting over two peaks and it was great to be able to do it in the name of the WI. We were also able to spread the word of how great the WI is to other women on the walk! So, if the chance comes to challenge yourself, go for it!”

We are always looking for more people to join our challenge or to organise their own in aid of the NFWI.

Not every workout needs a gym. This one just needs a chair 🪑

Rima’s live chair workout is now underway, and you can still join us for the remaining Monday morning sessions this June.

It’s a gentle and accessible way to move from home - ideal if you're managing limited mobility, want to keep moving while working from home, or just prefer exercise without the travel, changing rooms or pressure to keep up.

Because it’s live, you’ll be part of the class as it happens, with Rima guiding each session in real time.

Join us this Monday at 10am. Head to VIA to book your spot - FREE for WI members 🤩
