Scottish Womens Institute -
We are women supporting women to live their best lives by experiencing lifelong learning, fun and lasting friendships.
All women in Scotland are welcome to join the SWI, an internationally recognised and well-respected membership organisation which was created by women, for women.
With a rich history in each of Scotland’s communities, the SWI continues to promote education and connects women locally and nationally to improve their quality of life through friendship, education, sharing skills and experiences and having fun. Now, with 500 groups around the country, we are proud to bring together more than 10,000 women across the length and breadth of Scotland.
We celebrate our traditional Scottish heritage and crafting techniques and embrace new adventures, offering everything from knitting and baking to walking weekends and wild swims… with a bit of gin tasting and belly dancing in the mix too! While lifelong learning is at the heart of everything we do, lasting friendships and improved confidence are often wonderful results!
We are women supporting women to live their best lives, so dive in and see what you can do…
