What’s On?

 

Half term week!

 Probably many of our members will be spending time with family during the coming week! 

Ask them what they think about gender fluidity! Get some opinions from the next generations on this topic - look at our burning issue through different eyes.

Coach trip, anyone?

Friends of Churston Library have posted on our Facebook page! As lots of our members love a coach trip, and Hestercombe Gardens are fabulous, I thought I would copy and paste it all here, too.

If walking on paths up and down through wild and tamed gardens is not your favourite, you may like to investigate the Hestercombe website https://www.hestercombe.com/ to get a bit more information.

New from the WI learning hub!

VIA launches Monday 9th February - and with it, a completely new chapter for learning. If you've been with us on the WI Learning Hub, you'll recognise the heart of what we do. But VIA? It's been reimagined from the ground up. Clearer navigation. Smarter course formats. A platform that works the way you do - whether you're squeezing learning into a lunch break or settling in for a Sunday afternoon deep dive.

Keep an eye on our social media channels and the WI Learning Hub website, where the link to VIA will be posted on Monday afternoon.

 

What’s On?

 

From NFWI

 Watching the news or looking at your social media feed, it’s easy to believe that the UK is more divided than ever. The voices of those who seek to spread hate, harm our communities and separate us are loud.

But the reality is millions of people across the UK show up for each other, their neighbours and their communities every single day. From monitoring our river health and helping keep our environments clean, to donating to food banks, raising money for charity, and extending the hand of friendship to refugees - acts of hope and kindness happen all the time.

These stories are too often left untold. So, in May 2026, The NFWI, alongside community and faith groups, and other charities big and small, will come together to celebrate and inspire A Million Acts of Hope across Britain. There is far more that connects us than divides us. We hope you’ll join us.
