District Chairman Hamida Atkins

Welcome to the 102nd year of Inner Wheel. Since our founding by Margarette Golding in Manchester (UK), many clubs have emulated her innovative ideas to establish today the largest women’s organisation in the World in over 100 countries. Much has changed in those intervening years, but the mission of IW remains unchanged. We are like interconnecting cogs in a wheel. IW members participate in Club-initiated projects by leveraging our hearts as well as our joint experiences and expertise in a coordinated way to generate funds to support the less fortunate in society. Along the way, we have lots of fun, and friendships, new and old, flourish.

I joined the IW Hazel Grove Club 10 years ago. It happened when a lovely lady, Moyra Cryer a fellow parishioner, invited me to attend an International Fundraising Rally the club was hosting. There, I was introduced to all the amiable and charming ladies who welcomed me with open arms. With my husband a Rotarian, our circle of friends expanded as we attended various joint sessions and social events together. In return, I have supported IW by accepting the interesting posts of Club Treasurer, President and District Treasurer. It has been an enjoyable ride. In the process, I have learnt a great deal about the workings of IW, which has been strengthened by attending most of the Conferences hosted by the Association of Inner Wheel GB&I and the IIW Convention in Manchester, 2024.

If you are attracted to becoming involved with like-minded ladies, raising funds for local and international charities, while at the same time enjoying socialising, having fun, and supporting worthy causes, then PLEASE COME AND JOIN US. BECOME INSPIRED by contacting one of District 5 clubs on https://innerwheel.co.uk/district-5/

I guarantee you will be amazed.
