The SWI offers a diverse range of events including workshops, summer schools, in-person and online skill shares, competitions, national educational programmes and scholarships. There’s something for everyone!

All events promote learning, personal growth, and community connection. They empower women, inspire confidence, foster friendships, and share knowledge, so members can develop skills and achieve their goals in a friendly, supportive environment where learning is fun.

The SWI Evelyn Baxter Programme is dedicated to empowering women through education, leadership, and skill development. Named after a prominent SWI member, Miss Evelyn Baxter, in the 1950s, it offers workshops, training, and mentorship opportunities. The programme aims to inspire confidence, foster community engagement, and support women in achieving their personal and professional goals within a supportive environment.
