National Resolutions
The WI has been campaigning for over 100 years, including some groundbreaking campaigns on equal pay and AIDS awareness. Our resolutions and mandates process is democratic and member-led, which ensures that every national campaign has its roots within the membership. For 2020 a record number of draft resolutions were sent up to NFWI's Public Affairs team. We are proud that five Resolutions were submitted from Buckinghamshire WIs, and grateful to our Resolutions Adviser, Lynn (Member Support) for all her assistance in this process.
The closing date for submission of resolution ideas for 2021 is 11th September 2020. Form and notes below:

Buckinghamshire Resolutions
Not every Resolution submitted can become a mandate at national level. Did you know that Buckinghamshire Federation have a long history of supporting local Mandates?
In 2011, when, at the Annual Council Meeting in April, Bucks members passed a Resolution calling on local Health and Social Care providers to make resources for the care of stroke survivors more effective. Members acknowledged that at the time, standards of care, especially in the vital first hours after a stroke, were not consistently excellent throughout the county. We wrote to those who could make a difference to raise awareness of the issue, and partnered with other organisations working on the issue locally. We raised public awareness, helping to ensure that facilities were maintained and new ones developed. Progress with this work continues to be monitored by the Science and Society Sub-Committee.
So if you feel the WI should be raising awareness of an issue - and it is in line with our charitable aims and objectives - get started on drafting a Resolution! The deadline for 2021 submissions is 11th September!
Discuss this with your WI and the BFWI Resolutions Adviser, Lynn Hutton (Member Support).
