About Us Cumbria-Westmorland Federation has over 2000 members belonging to 71 WIs, in villages and towns throughout a beautiful area of the country including the Furness Penisular, South Lakeland, the Eden and Lune Valleys.
Our
WIs large and small, including King's Meaburn in the north to Dentdale
in the east, Barrow-in-Furness in the west and Silverdale in the south,
forge strong links with their
local communities.
The Federation plays a
significant part in important regional events including the Westmorland
County Show and Holker Garden Festival.
We offer women
fellowship and friendship, opportunities to learn and develop new skills
and interests as well as the opportunity to have a voice in campaigns
on local, national and international issues.
We
are proud of promoting our mixture of traditional and new skills in art
and craft, helping members enjoy cookery, leisure pursuits in music,
writing, sport and dramatic art.
We also run courses which help members develop personal skills such as public speaking and now offer drop-in sessions at the WI Office on getting to grips with modern technology.
All this served up with a delicious slice of fun and friendship in monthly meetings and Federation events.
