Welcome to the National Federation of Women's Institutes (NFWI) and Aynho WI.
The NFWI is the largest national organisation for women in the UK with 230,000 members in England, Wales and the Islands.
The ideals of the Women's Institute of truth, justice, tolerance and fellowship are as strong and important now in the 21st century as they were at the birth of the WI in 1915.
The WI exists to educate women to enable them to provide an effective role in the community, to expand their horizons and to develop and pass on important skills.
