Register for Restart a Heart Live

The annual public awareness live-stream event Restart a Heart Live is back on 1 October 2026. It aims to offer CPR familiarisation to as many people as possible by live streaming sessions to living rooms, classrooms and workplaces. Delivered by Resuscitation Council UK, Save a Life Cymru and other partners, the goal is to train one million people across the UK by 2027.

To join the event, register your interest at www.restartaheart.live so that you can receive email updates and reminders of the event and also the live link on 1 October. You can register as an individual, family or community group. A timetable of events will be available closer to the time.

Earlier this year, NFWI-Wales and Save a Life Cymru launched a CPR video for members. The video is available to watch here: https://www.thewi.org.uk/wi-in-wales/campaigns/bystanders-can-be-lifesavers

Please help us share the video widely.

This campaign calls on WI members to work together to increase public confidence and training in the delivery of CPR and to work with local organisations to help improve access to defibrillators in their communities.

This month, we're delighted to shine a spotlight on Stand4Socks, a brand proving that small, everyday actions can make a real difference.

Our partnership with Stand4Socks shows how something as simple as buying a pair of socks can have a meaningful impact. As the WI campaigns to shine a light on hidden homelessness among women and girls, every pair of socks purchased not only helps fund our charitable work but also provides a practical item to someone experiencing homelessness.

It's a simple idea with a powerful impact, combining compassion, action and community, values that are at the heart of the WI.

Thoughtfully designed, practical and purposeful, these socks make a wonderful gift or treat for yourself while helping support an important cause.

Shop the collection and make every step count. 💚

Upcoming event: Climb Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon at Night, 1-2 August 2026

Hot on the heels of our first ever Three Peaks Challenge in July, comes our second fantastic fundraising event: climbing Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon at Night, on 1-2 August 2026.

Scale Wales’ highest mountain by night, and watch the sun rise across the stunning mountain range from its summit. Snowdonia/Eryri National Park is a Dark Sky Reserve, promising incredible views of the stars on a clear night.

We would like to wish all those taking part this weekend the very best of luck!

We’ve had a wonderful four days at the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd.
Thank you to everyone who called by to see us on our stand. Huge thanks also to Powys Brecknock Federation of Women's Institutes for hosting the stand and for their fabulous exhibit on the theme The Great Forest of Brecknock.

The daily demonstrations attracted a lot of interest as well as the craft items that were on sale and the beautiful display of trees.

Some of the highlights from the week included:

Visits from Jeryl Stone, NFWI Chair; Sioned Williams MS, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and Equality; and David Chadwick, MP for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe.

Lisa Howells, NFWI-Wales and Iona Roberts, Powys Brecknock Federation taking part in an interview for the S4C coverage from the Show.
