Project 1917 – Help Shape Our 110th Anniversary Celebrations

In 2027, the SWI will celebrate 110 years, and we’d love members to be part of planning how we mark this fantastic milestone.

Join fellow members for a relaxed two-hour ideas session over a cup of tea. It’s a chance to chat, share your thoughts and help shape celebrations that reflect everything we love about SWI; friendship, community and making a difference.

We’ll be talking about:

• How we can celebrate in our own communities
• Ideas for regional and national events
• Ways to attract new members and raise awareness of SWI
• How we can make 2027 a celebration to remember

Whether you have lots of ideas or just want to listen and join the conversation, everyone is welcome. There are no right or wrong answers, we simply want to hear from as many members as possible.

All the ideas shared at these meetings will be brought together to help shape plans for our 110th Anniversary celebrations.
