Member-led

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 a commitment to our mission, guiding the organisation’s future, making key decisions, and ensuring we continue to empower women, celebrate Scottish culture, and serve communities across Scotland.
