Welcome to the Yorkshire - North East Federation

North Yorkshire East came into being in 1983 when the very large Yorkshire Federation was divided into six smaller units. This year 2008 we are celebrating our 25th Anniversary with many special events.

We have 107 WIs in our Federation with approximately 3,000 members.We cover a very large area from the south of Selby, across the North Yorkshire Moors, to the coast, north of Whitby and west to the A1. Most of our WIs are in rural areas but we are opening new WIs in towns and workplaces

We own our own Federation Headquarters in Thirsk. We produce a monthly  Newsletter informing members of workshops, day schools, learning opportunities, talks and trips arranged by the Federation Executive Committee and four sub committees dealing with Home Economics & Craft, Arts & Leisure, Public Affairs & International, and Membership & Training.

The WIs in our area offer fun and friendship and a way to be involved in a local community and make friends,

Contact our Federation Secretary for further details and how to find a WI near you. If you are visiting our area pop into the Federation Office at WI House, Front Street,Norby, Thirsk. We would be pleased to see you. Our Office hours are 10.00am to 12.30pm and 2.00pm to 4.00pm, Monday to Thursday. Tel. 01845 522415
