Harwell Women's Institute

 

Welcome

Welcome to the Harwell Women's Institute.

We play a unique role in village life as, through us, women of all ages are offered opportunities to enjoy friendship, to learn, to widen their horizons and to take part in issues which matter to us and the community,

It is all there for members to take part in as little or as much as they like.

Our main focus is on monthly meetings, but you will see us involved in many various village events and supporting village life.
