The Forge Women's Institute was founded in 2016 as a way for local women to meet up in the area and try something new. It's a welcoming space for women to be themselves surrounded by other supportive women.​

 

The WI is about celebrating a diverse cross section of women and we pride ourselves on the range of experiences that our membership represents.​ A large proportion of our members didn't know anyone before they came to their first meeting!

​

Our WI is very friendly and it's a great opportunity to meet like-minded women.
