Lovely to meet you...

We're a friendly group who are always very pleased to be joined by new members. As part of the Surrey Federation of Women's Institutes, we're here to connect, support and empower women, sharing skills and influencing change.

What we do...

We run a varied schedule of activities, including cultural visits, theatre trips, community events, and get-togethers. You can pick and choose what you'd like to join in with and there's plenty of opportunity for you to shape the calendar too.
