About the WI

Picture


The Women’s Institute (WI) was formed in 1915 to revitalise rural communities and to encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Since then the organisation’s aims have broadened and the WI is now the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK. The WI celebrated its centenary in 2015 and currently has over 210,000 members in around 6,600 WIs.


The WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.

Kelsall WI was founded in 1933. We celebrated our 80th Birthday in 2013, in some style! Currently, in December 2017, we have 60 members. Meetings are normally held on the first Wednesday of the month at the Kelsall Methodist Chapel, Chapel Green, starting at 7.30 pm. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
