Helping members thrive

The SWI has been part of Scotland’s rural communities for over 100 years. It supports members by creating opportunities to learn new skills, share experiences, and take part in activities that strengthen friendships and local life.
This strong network not only benefits members but also attracts partners and funders who want to help sustain the SWI’s activities and traditions for the future. The national fundraising achievements since 2022 have played a key role in supporting members and enabling these activities to thrive.
