The WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.
What is this service?
We are always on the lookout for people with professional skills in planning, architecture, surveying, design, art, landscape architecture, engineering, community engagement, community organising and more.
You can have a hugely positive impact as a volunteer: a short phone call with you can make all the difference to someone without significant knowledge of planning.
