On 16 September 2021 we'll be celebrating #WIDay, and this year we're turning 106 (we don't look bad for our age!)
The theme for this year's WI Day is friendship and connection and we'll be shining a light on the special and lifelong friendships that are made in the WI. Tune into our social media channels this week to see how we'll be marking this important milestone.

WI Highlight: 678+ trauma teddies knitted by Norfolk members!
|
|
|
|
A couple of years ago Norfolk Federation started a project to knit 'trauma teddies' for the emergency services to give to children who feel upset or scared at incidents. The teddies were safely housed in the Norfolk Federation Office during the 2020 lockdown. Norfolk Fire Brigade were one of the first receivers of 200 teddies after lockdown, pictured here! Hundreds more teddies were delivered to the RNLI which will be distributed to every Lifeboat Station along the Norfolk Coast and one in North Suffolk.
