About Us
The WI Learning Hub is part of the ongoing commitment of the NFWI and Denman Trust, to provide WI members flexible access to education.
The WI Learning Hub is a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive space for everyone—women, men, homeschoolers, career changers, young and old, WI members and non-members. While all are welcome, WI members enjoy the added benefit of free access to most courses.
Lifelong learning has always been central to the WI, remaining vital for people of all ages, races, genders, and abilities. As life and technology evolve, so does our approach to learning. The WI Learning Hub offers members the opportunity to gain new skills, deepen their knowledge, and explore a variety of topics relevant to everyday life—whether from the comfort of their homes or alongside their WI community.
As the next step in our educational journey, the WI Learning Hub provides a diverse range of learning experiences designed to be accessible and reflective of the needs of a neurodiverse audience. Courses are available in various formats, including live sessions, on-demand access, and structured study options, allowing members to choose the learning style that best suits their needs. We also have monthly craft and cookery blogs available, as well as training for various WI roles.
Our Vision
At The WI Learning Hub, our vision is to foster lifelong learning that empowers women to achieve their full potential. We are committed to creating an inclusive, accessible and flexible learning environment that adapts to the evolving needs of women of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Our Vision Statements are driven by four key principles:
Inclusive and Accessible Learning: To offer a variety of accessible and inclusive learning experiences that are relevant to women at every stage of life.
Empowerment Through Flexibility: To offer flexible learning pathways that encourage women to pursue their passions, develop skills and reach their academic or personal goals – empowering them to enhance their self-worth, confidence and reach their full potential.
Leading in Learning and Development: To be a bold, leading force in making learning and development convenient, safe and appealing for women – expanding knowledge and understanding both within the WI and society.
A Modern and Inspiring Environment: To grow a modern, non-judgmental, and inspiring learning environment that sparks interest and elevates knowledge, skills, and confidence for all women.
The WI Learning Hub is an open and welcoming space for everyone, with WI members enjoying free access to the majority of courses.
Inspiring Women - Then & Now
The WI is a unique organisation shaped by its members. Established in 1915 to revitalise rural communities and empower women during the First World War, the Women’s Institute has grown into the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK.
Our mission has expanded and evolved to meet the diverse needs of women across generations, creating a trusted space where women unite to campaign for change, strengthen communities and share experiences.
A WI membership offers the chance to connect with local women, both in-person and virtually, fostering friendships and making a positive impact. We advocate nationally on a wide range of issues and provide lifelong learning and self-development opportunities for women across England and Wales.
