About this cause

The Women’s Institute is the largest women’s voluntary organisation in the country with over 100 years of history. It provides women with educational opportunities, the chance to build new skills, take part in a wide variety of activities and involve themselves in supporting each other and their communities. Our WI is a charity serving the village of Istead Rise with 85 members aged 40-90 years who participate in weekly, monthly and occasional sporting, leisure and learning activities which help alleviate loneliness and keep minds and bodies active.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Since its foundation in 1949 our WI has met in the Memorial Hall. Over the past two years volunteers have begun updating with replacement toilet facilities and a new disabled toilet.
