Saltaire WI was launched in September 2011 by our President, Fiz, with a mission to ‘inspire and connect the women of Saltaire’.
Our members have a wide age range but all enjoy meeting up to try new things, learn new skills and socialise over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
We have a packed programme of monthly meetings, plus a variety of spin-off groups: two book groups, Saltaire WI gardeners club, a crafting/knitting group, a walking group and ad-hoc meet-ups for theatre trips and local social events.
We support our local community through fundraising, monthly food bank collections and helping out at community events.
Saltaire WI meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Church Hall, Moorhead Lane, Shipley.
Guests are welcome at any meeting, or you can become a member and get free access for a year to all our meetings, plus attend any of our other regular groups and social events.
Our 10th Birthday!
In September 2021 we celebrated our 10th Birthday in style, inviting all our members to enjoy an evening of good food (and cake!), drinks and friendships! We also commemorated this event by planting fruit trees and bushes for the local community to enjoy year on year.
The Women’s Institute
The WI is as relevant today as it was when it was launched in 1915. And it’s just as radical. The WI is here to enable women like you to ‘make a difference’ – to the life you lead, to the community you’re a part of and to the world you live in.
We can help you to expand your horizons and make new friends, take up new interests, learn new crafts and develop new skills. We offer all kinds of opportunities to all kinds of women. Our concerns range from climate change to cooking, from crafts to community projects, from healthy eating to fairtrade fortnights, from traditional values to new friendships.
