NFWI ACT NOW, CHANGE FOREVER PODCAST
Please have a listen to our Climate Ambassador, Gillian McCallum, when she was approached by NFWI at the recent Climate Coalition Mass Lobby in July.
The Learning Hub
Offers members the opportunity to learn new skills, expand current understanding, and engage in a variety of topics that are relevant to everyday life, either in the comfort of their own homes or with their WI.

YOU CAN NOW BOOK YOUR OWN TICKETS FOR FEDERATION EVENTS
We have introduced the option of members being able to purchase tickets for our events online using TICKETLAB.
This in no way replaces our current system of completing an application form and either paying by cheque or BACS, it is just another option and a choice for those members who may prefer to book this way.
As with all online ticket platforms there is an unavoidable booking fee which is 20p + 6% of the ticket price. (i.e. if the ticket is £1 you will pay £1.26 at the checkout.)
Should an event have to be cancelled you will receive a refund but the booking fee is NOT refundable.
Head over to our 'Events' page and follow the link to book.

CAN YOU HELP US?
In order to support the current Resolution “Bystanders Can be Lifesavers”, the Current Affairs and Resolutions Team would like to have a “stand” in the covered entrance of Asda supermarket near the Dome. We will have a banner promoting the WI, promotional leaflets and there will be a QR code provided by British Heart Foundation which gives access to their revivR app’s CPR training.
The event has been scheduled for Saturday 15 November between 10 am and 2 pm.
Address:-
Asda Doncaster Superstore
Gliwice Way
Bawtry Road
Doncaster DN4 5NW
We would like to ask for volunteers to help 'man' the stand for the duration of the time. There will be nothing for volunteers to set up, we would just like to ask members to offer to give an hour or so of their time to be on hand to encourage shoppers to scan the QR code with their phone and answer any questions they may have about our campaign and/or the WI in general. Information will be on hand to help with this; all you need to do is turn up and wear a WI sash!
This is a popular Resolution, and we are hoping that this will provide an easy way for our members to show their support without taking too much time out of their busy lives. If it is successful, we hope to roll it out in the rest of the Federation.
Whether you are in the slightest bit curious or certain you would like to take part, please contact:
Susan Webster (Current Affairs and Resolutions Team) either by email: susanj-webster@sky.com or telephone: 07910 746925 (mobile). 01302 772853 (landline).
Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
