Chairman's Message - June 2021
Onwards and Upwards!
Welcome to the Buckinghamshire Federation of WIs website – please visit us here as often as you can – this is where you can find out What’s On, what we do and view pictures of BFWI members enjoying events and activities on our Gallery pages. Are you or your WI there?
My role as Chairman of the Board of Trustees is to make sure the Federation delivers the best WI experience it can to our members. We are a hard working team, always open to hearing your views and ideas and to welcoming you to become part of one of our Sub - Committees to help plan events both fun and thought provoking.
The WI is here to inspire you, is everything you want it to be but crucially is what you make it. We want as many of you as possible to be involved in whatever way suits you. Be a member of your local WI or of our new Virtual WI. Encourage others to join a WI by telling them how much you enjoy being part of the largest organisation of women in the UK. Send in ideas about events you would like to see or issues you would like to be informed about. Send in your pictures for our website gallery. Submit entries for our blog. Send in items, fun or serious, to our HQ at Stuart Lodge for our Newsletter which is free and to which you can subscribe directly at no cost. Join our FaceBook page.
The strapline for our innovative online Annual Council Meeting was Onwards and Upwards and that’s what we will have in the forefront of our plans for the coming WI year. Help us to make those words ring out vibrantly across Buckinghamshire in the years to come.

The WI offers friendship, community support, educational opportunities, new activities and fun. The Bucks Federation of WIs started in 1920, 100 years ago, although our very first WI - Ivinghoe (now Ivinghoe & Pitstone) - began life in 1917. We have grown ever since and form a huge, supportive network for women covering 107 WIs and around 4000 members. Each WI is unique and reflects its members. People think they know the WI but we think we have a few surprises for you
