Principles of WI
Creative
The WI has always had creativity at its heart, from the many creative activities it engages in through to a more abstract interpretation embracing the WI’s open minded and resourceful approach to the issues it takes on.
Active
The WI is an active organisation. Its members are involved in myriad activities, some orientated towards the individual and others toward a wider community.
Principled
The WI has a long and valued reputation as a practical, positive and principled organisation. Over the last century it has played a fundamental role in women’s lives and whenever possible acted in the interests of British society.
Relevant
The WI has stood the test of time by proving itself to be relevant to both its members and the wider world in a time that has seen more change to the role of women — in society, in the workplace, and at home — than perhaps any other.
Welcoming
The WI is only as good as the women who join and it has therefore always put great importance on being a welcoming organisation — something every woman should feel is open to her.
