Information from the NFWI Annual Meeting on Thursday 4th June

 The WI (National Federation of Women's Institutes)

“My inspiration comes from you and your engagement – today and everyday – with our wonderful movement. Our impassioned discussions on our two resolutions today are just one reflection of the collective power we hold and the impact we have in our communities.
So, we will be back together in 2027 in Hull. I look forward to standing here and looking out at you all!” – Jeryl Stone, NFWI chair


Well if you watched the NFWI annual meeting today - wow what inspiring women speakers. I think the WI should produce some T-Shirts with ‘Be more like Anne’ on them - re Anne Boden, the first woman to found a British bank. (Written by a WI member)





Anne also chaired the government’s Women-led High-Growth Enterprise Taskforce. As a relative newbie (just over a years membership), I’m certainly going to embrace AI, support Women no matter what and never give up, despite those who knock me down cause my face doesn’t fit! I’m so inspired!

We need to stop trying to fix the women; there’s nothing wrong with us. We need to fix the system.’ – Anne Boden
Thank you very much for sharing your advice and experience, Anne!
