The Gloucester Road WI is a diverse group of women with some amazing skills and experience.
We formed in 2011, and currently have 80 members who meet monthly and engage in an activity or listen to a speaker. We also fundraise for local charities and participate in the national WI campaigns and initiatives.
Membership for 2016 is now full, if you would like to go on our waiting list please contact us via email. We do accept a few visitors at our meetings, which costs £4. You can visit up to three times in 1 year.
