About Us

You will always be welcome at one of the Women's Institutes in the Huntingdon & Peterborough Federation. WIs can be found in rural villages, the market towns of Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots, and Ramsey and in the urban areas of Peterborough, stretching from Kimbolton and St Neots in the South to Northborough in the North. We even have a virtual WI, Filoxenia Virtual WI.

Whatever your interests we aim to offer something to inspire you with opportunities to widen knowledge, learn new skills and share experiences. Fun and friendship are also to be found, so why not join nearly 200,000 WI members in England and Wales?

Board of Trustees

Federation Trustees provide the link between the NFWI and the WIs in their federation. Trustees are jointly responsible for running the federation, although they can delegate certain responsibilities. They must also make sure the WIs in their region follow the guidelines of the Charity Commission.

Trustees are responsible for: passing on information from the NFWI to members; setting the federation's budget and overseeing its finances; attending meetings and engaging in discussion, debate and voting; issuing an annual report and accounts; and organising events and activities for members.

If you would be interested in becoming a Trustee, please contact the office for further information. We would be delighted for you to join our Board of Trustees. A Trustee must be a member of a WI within our Federation. WIs elect Trustees prior to the Annual Federation Day meeting.
