Get involved in Crosspool Women’s Institute

Fancy being part of the largest women’s voluntary organisation in the country? This year the Women’s Institute celebrated its centenary and is going from strength to strength.

Crosspool WI has just welcomed in a new president, Dawn Boulter, so it’s a very exciting time to join.

As we move in to 2016 we have a fantastic programme of events, which will soon be available to pick up from Stephen Hill church.

Crosspool WI meeting on Monday

The next Crosspool Women’s Institute meeting takes place on Monday 16 April at St Columba’s Church from 7-9pm. All ladies are welcome – bring £4.50 as there’s wine and nibbles.

Last month Julia Connelly from Crosspool’s Craft Angels explained on Radio Sheffield why the group has been set up: “In Crosspool there is a diverse range of ages, and a WI is something that can bring women together, especially young mums whose children have gone to school. A lot of our population also include professional people who have come to Sheffield for university and then stayed with no family living nearby.”

If you want to find out more then you can turn up on Monday or get in touch on 0114 266 7339 07894 387406.
