Sixteen of our members joined the annual Joint Commonwealth Organisation (JCO) Spring Event in London on 12th May. This event brings together friends of the six Commonwealth focussed organisations for an opportunity to enjoy history, heritage and of course friendship amongst all members.

This year, we went to the Last Princess of Punjab, Kensington Palace Exhibition. We learned about the story of Punjabi princess and suffragette icon, Sophia Duleep Singh and five women who shaped her extraordinary life.

Following time exploring the exhibition we shared an excellent lunch in a nearby Chinese Restaurant where all 50 Members of the six Organisations happily chatted and caught up with each other for the afternoon. A perfect. day spent with friends!

Members of CWW are heading to London today for the AGM.

As well as the formality of reviewing the last years activities, the finances and moving into the year ahead, we will also be saying goodbye to our fabulous chairman after 7 years in the job and welcoming four new trustees.

After the meeting there’s a great opportunity for our members from across the country to catch up with each other, share ideas, reminisce and just enjoy each other’s company, whether in person or via zoom.

Thankyou to our Trustees, co-ordinators and members for continuing to fly the flag for Corona.

Wishing all our members, friends and followers a very Happy 2026.

2025 was a year of celebrations around the world for our 75th anniversary, but with the festive season behind us, decorations and lights put away for another year, it’s time to turn our focus to planning another year at CWW. The first Trustees meeting of the year is next week, coordinators meeting in Feb and the AGM in March! It might ‘take a village to raise a child’ but it also takes a great group of hardworking trustees and helpers to run CWW! Let’s get organising and planning!

On Saturday 8th Nov, we were thrilled to be invited to participate in the 697th Lord Mayor’s Show as part of our membership to FIWAL. This year it became the Lady Mayor's Show for the first time in its more than 800-year history, celebrating the inauguration of Dame Susan Langley DBE, Lady Mayor of London.
Emmie and Christine joined the parade of over 7000 participants, 200 horses and more than 50 decorated floats as they wound their way from Mansion House in the City of London, through St Paul's to the Royal Courts of Justice in Westminster, where the Lady Mayor swore loyalty to the Crown. The parade then returned to Mansion House along the Thames Embankment. It was a fun filled occasion, and the route was packed with hundreds of cheering well-wishers.

We also have it on good authority that they were spotted on the TV too! Loving their CWW tabbards!

Happy 75th Anniversary to us!

Today some of the UK members come together to celebrate Corona Worldwide’s 75th anniversary. Members are coming from as far as Scotland and Cornwall to celebrate.

We are very proud of our history and heritage, supporting women worldwide. Over the years we have adapted and changed our services to suit a more modern world and will continue to support our members in the future. We’re looking forward to a lovely lunch and time to catch up with friends old and new and of course reminisce and talk about life experiences overseas.

We know some of our overseas branches have also had or are planning their celebrations. Let’s raise a glass and celebrate all of our lovely members all around the world!
