About the SWI
Scottish Women’s Institutes – the SWI – is a vibrant, membership organisation uniting women in towns and villages across Scotland.
We are the largest women’s movement in Scotland, and members get together in local halls, community centres, and rural venues. These social support networks help keep minds and bodies active and healthy, and empower women of all ages through learning, friendship, and fun, increasing confidence and self-esteem.
Join us and be part of something extraordinary.
