Our local WI has links with the national organisation which
runs dozens of training courses with demonstrations and talks from visiting
speakers. You can develop your skills up to "expert" level and join in
national festivals and workshops.
With the WI you can have the active lifestyle you've always
promised yourself. Whatever your level, whatever your interest - walking,
surfing, croquet or sky diving - join the WI and get more out of life.
In the past the National Federation of Womens' Institutes has worked on a
wide range of issues: from issues of national concern such as the decline in
rural services, to international issues such as the negative impact of free
trade on the worlds poorest people. The NFWI's current campaigning
priorities are the Save Our Post Offices campaign, a new campaign on
Children's Diets, Exercise and Health, the campaign on Chemicals and Health,
and the ongoing campaign on Genetically Modified Food and Crops.
Locally, our meetings are lively events with guest speakers on a wide
variety of subjects, often involving participation. They are also an
opportunity to meet old friends and find new ones, too.
The Desborough WI is organised by a committee.
