Virtual WIs - The Federation are looking to start a virtual WI next year - why not have a browse and see what they are all about.

Virtual Women’s Institutes (WIs) allow women to connect via Zoom or online platforms, making meetings accessible for those with mobility issues, caring responsibilities, or busy schedules. Membership provides access to the WI's educational platform, national campaigns, and interest groups (like book clubs or craft chats).

Because they meet online, you can join a virtual WI located anywhere, or even sign up as a dual member alongside your local in-person group

Looking for a WI that you can join from the comfort of your own home? Look no further!

Here is a list of our virtual WIs:

Blooming Zoomers

Cheshire virtual Wheatsheaves

CyberCats Virtual

Darwin Daisies

East Yorkshire Roses

Filoxenia

Hampshire Clouds

Ladies Who Lunch

Manx Valkyries Virtual

Sassy Lassies Virtual

Severn Sisters Virtual

Skylarks WI Virtual

Surrey Vixens Virtual WI
