WI LIFE
All WI members receive a copy of WI Life magazine, mailed to their homes. This is published quarterly.
Membership (2026) costs £54.00 for the year April-April, which also includes a subscription to WI Life, the WI magazine and access to the WI's online learning platform VIA. Membership operates pro-rata throughout the year.
Membership also entitles you to attend all the subgroups if you wish (guests and non-members are not permitted to attend subgroups). Some subgroups charge a small amount to cover costs; more details can be found on the Events page.
Members can also have dual membership with other WI groups. Should you wish to join us as your secondary WI, the membership fee is £27.10. There is no pro-rata rate for this if you join during the year.
The WIGs is a branch of the Women's Institute.
