The SWI: a place for all women
The SWI has been bringing joy and new opportunities to women for more than a century and has a proud heritage rooted in empowering women through fun, friendship and learning. Our world celebrates the diversity of women’s interests—from crafting and baking the perfect scone to promoting women’s wellbeing and addressing issues that matter to us all.
As Scotland’s largest women’s movement, the SWI currently supports 8,800 women as they enjoy getting together in more than 400 Institutes in towns and villages across the country. Each institute is unique, with members choosing activities that inspire and engage. The possibilities are endless.
There’s a huge range of local, regional and national workshops, classes and demonstrations, plus sporting events and competitions to take part in, too, all fabulous for boosting self-esteem, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
We welcome all women to live their best lives and get the most out of meeting like-minded women in their own communities, and to be part of our unique circle of friends!
