District Chairman
District Chairman Angela Churchill
Welcome
I am excited and enthusiastic about being District Chairman for 2026/2027. It is a great privilege.
District 9 covers such a beautiful part of the World and the members are a lovely group of people. All working hard to support each other whilst contributing to their local communities and to the wider world.
Inner Wheel gives us not only the opportunity to create lasting memories, make lifelong friendships but to add to the work and dedication of other groups around the world. It is a vital link that enables us to understand and support different lived experiences.
We are always happy to welcome new members to our groups and hope that they too will benefit from and enjoy the sense of worth and value membership brings. A small drop in a lake makes a difference. I hope we can, together, make a positive difference to the lives of others whilst caring, communicating, laughing and having fun.
I hope this year I can help strengthen that commitment and that bond and encourage more women to join us.
DC Angela Churchill

The International charity remains as Mary's Meals
There is gender inequality in education around the world, but by providing daily meals in school, we remove one hugely significant barrier for girls, giving them opportunities that they otherwise may not have.
