Member-led

A photo of the SWI Board of Trustees  sat around a table. On the table there are various stacks of papers and bottles of water.

The SWI is proud to be the largest women’s movement in Scotland and is member-led.

Our dedicated Board of Trustees volunteer their time and expertise to represent the views of thousands of members across the country. They bring passion, experience, and commitment, guiding the organisation’s future and making key decisions. They ensure we empower women, celebrate Scottish culture, and serve communities across Scotland.
