Our nomination for Contribution to the Community recognises the work our wonderful WI does to bring Petersfield women together through education, friendship, connection and community.

Communities can’t wait while wildfires, floods and droughts devastate homes, harvests and livelihoods.
burnham has a choice: prioritise people or polluters. That’s why we’re calling on him to take stronger action to Secure Our Future and:

- Reject all new oil and gas licences, including Rosebank
- Meet the UK's international climate and nature commitments
- Pass the Nature + National Security Bill

An opportunity to have your say about community life.

Make your voice heard about community life in the UK

We know WI members are at the heart of our communities up and down the UK, Wales, and the islands; but too often our voices aren't heard or heeded by those making decisions or shaping policy.

That's why NFWI is supporting the National Conversation - one of the biggest listening surveys in a generation, asking one simple question: what kind of country and community do you want to live in?

It's independent, run by Nuffield College, University of Oxford. It's anonymous. And it takes just 12 minutes. The answers will shape the work of the Independent Commission on Community & Cohesion, co-chaired by Sir Sajid Javid and Jon Cruddas.

We're supporting the National Conversation because the WI's community deserves to be heard. Please take part today.

Please make sure you have your say by completing the survey before the end of August → https://www.national-conversation.ox.ac.uk/?lang=en&channel=thewi&utm_source=thewi&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=national_conversation&utm_id=thewi&utm_content=en
