Inner Wheel District 6

About District 6

Our District sits in the heart of England and all our 11 clubs are based in towns, with members living within easy reach, whether it be in the local neighbourhood  or in the more rural areas.  This gives plenty of scope for friendship outings like a river cruise, a country walk, meeting up in a café or one of our many delightful pubs just for a chat or to plan events.

District Chairman

District Chairman Liz Ostroumoff

Welcome

I am happy and delighted to be our District Chairman this Inner Wheel year and look forward to visiting all our clubs and surrounding District events as well as attending our annual national Conference.
I admire the foresight of our founder, Margarette Golding, whose vision of friendship, personal service and international understanding, is as important today as it was more than a hundred years ago.
I embrace change, whilst respecting the ideals which are the roots of our organisation. I understand the importance of the friendship which exists amongst our members and, at the same time, look forward to welcoming new members who will become our future, and whose fresh ideas are so important.
Inner Wheel plays an important part of each member’s life but also plays an important part in our local communities and those much further afield. We quietly help those less fortunate in many, many different ways, with each club’s membership deciding their own projects and events.

If you are visiting here and thinking of learning more about our clubs, there are contact details below, where you can find out far more about our clubs, their local community involvement, meetings, fund raising and social events.

Who we support

One of our members has recently lost a precious grandson to suicide and I have chosen two charities, both directly concerned with suicide, particularly in young people.

 Whilst commiserating amongst friends, it became obvious to me, that many members have families or know of families, who have been affected by suicide. All too often families are unaware that there is a problem and by highlighting these two charities, maybe other precious lives can be saved.

Boys in Mind provides a safe area for boys and young men to talk about their emotions and vulnerability. The charity recognises that there is also a growing number of girls and young women struggling with their mental health and so I have also chosen to support Papyrus, which helps both girls and boys.
