St Catherine’s time capsule – share your memories! THE JUNE EDITION

Are you a person who cares about your future, the community and the society we live in?

For over 104 years, Billingshurst has had a Women’s Institute supporting each other in our rural community. The WI cares about our future, our children’s future and the society we live in.

Originally started to help guide and educate women in rural communities, the Women’s Institute membership has continued to grow and thrive throughout our country. The WI has always been a significant force for change championing women in the community and addressing issues that affect our daily lives. The WI celebrated its centenary in 2015, has almost 220,000 members and 6,300 local institutes. We are proud to be one of them. We meet once a month in the afternoons, listen to and enjoy a speaker on a topical issue, care about our members and endorse activities such as outings and local clubs to maintain a sense of community. Our website, www.thewi.org.uk, gives a comprehensive overview of our past and current activities. It’s a great read! If you would like to consider joining us, you can attend one of our monthly meetings as a guest (information is always in the monthly Village Tweet) or ring Denise on 07714 212637 to discuss further. Billingshurst is changing and our population is growing. Let’s ensure it meets the needs of women and their families in this rural environment
