Significant events

• “During this financial year, the NFWI Board of Trustees undertook a comprehensive review of our constitutions to ensure that they remain fit for purpose, responsive to the evolving needs of our organisation, and aligned with best practice in the charity sector.”
• “The Learning Hub, which launched in 2024, continues to have phenomenal success among users. Averaging at over 5,000 course bookings a month from the 140 online courses offered, the mix of vibrant topics and speakers always inspire, inform and connect. This year we also launched our new Denman Grants which support the provision of face-to-face learning in federations.”
• “Our commercial arm, WI Enterprises Ltd (WIE), has had the first anniversary of the WI Lottery, launched in partnership with Gatherwell, which generated income of £32k in this financial year. Nearly 300 of our charities have set up their own lotteries through our platform in just one year. Overall, the lottery generated £95.6k income for the whole organisation.”
• “This year WIE worked in collaboration with much-loved British designer, Emma Bridgewater to launch a commemorative mug to mark the 110th anniversary of the WI and 40 years of the Emma Bridgewater brand. The commemorative mug generated £9.6k of income.”
• “In January 2025, we gathered a coalition of 37 cross-party MPs who signed a joint letter to urge the government to adopt the measures in the Microplastic Filters (Washing Machines) Bill.”
• “During the summer of 2025, members called for local climate action during The Great Big Green Week as part of our Climate Change campaign.”
• “In April 2025, we launched our Dental Health Matters Report in Westminster - which lays bare the devastating effects that a lack of NHS dental services has – particularly on women, who put others first and prioritise the dental health of their families.”
• “At the 2025 NFWI Annual Meeting, our members voted on a new resolution, Bystanders Can Be Lifesavers as our campaign for the year ahead. Since its launch in June 2025, more than 2,000 members have been trained in CPR, and many are spreading the word in the communities and in the media.”
• “During the year we welcomed over 24,700 new members, 50 new WIs were formed and our virtual WI network increased from 17 to 21. Our website, and MyWI platform, continue to enjoy huge scores of visitors - with 1.8 million views on the WI site overall, and 750,000 views on MyWI.”
• “In the summer and autumn of 2025, the Northamptonshire WI Federation played a big and colourful role in welcoming the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 to England, showcasing the best of the WI's community impact and creativity.”
• “This year our formal collaboration with England Rugby drew to a close following much success. By the summer of 2025, 72 WI's had teamed up with 65 rugby clubs, transforming clubhouses across the country into centres of creativity, conversation, and connection.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented.
