Hello and welcome to the Association website where you will find everything you want to know about Inner Wheel, from our aims and objectives, our history and who’s who to reports and photographs from our Conferences.
Inner Wheel is special - a women’s organisation run by women for women for over 93 years, women who are caring, giving, doing and loving and who work together for the benefit of their community and indeed people further afield while enjoying friendship and fellowship. In recent years we have widened our membership and are determined to move forward and meet the challenges of the modern world – you can find us on Facebook and Twitter.
Serving the community is an important aspect of Inner Wheel membership but although not one of our basic objectives, Inner Wheel members are mistresses of the art of fundraising and over the years have raised fantastic sums for a wide variety of charities. You would be amazed at the different and often novel ways our members find for their fundraising activities, working as a team with their friends and fellow Club members.
Inner Wheel means “making a difference”. Thanks to Inner Wheel, someone, somewhere in the world, at home or abroad, has food, has clean water, has had his sight restored, feels less isolated thanks to the work and generosity of Inner Wheel members. Whatever our natural talents, each of us can find a way to use them for the benefit of others and our own organisation.
The International Inner Wheel theme for 2017/18 is “Leave a Lasting Legacy” and we do !
If you are interested in joining Inner Wheel, please contact the office who will be delighted to put you in touch with your local Club.
I will be very proud to wear the Chain of Office for the coming year and I look forward to meeting as many members as possible at the District Rallies, at Conference in Bournemouth (19th-21st March, 2018) and perhaps even at the IIW Convention in Melbourne (11th-14th April, 2018).
All good wishes for a happy, successful and enjoyable year, full of Inner Wheel friendship, fellowship and fun.
Liz
