Welcome to the Sussex West Federation

Welcome to West Sussex where the second WI in Britain was formed at Singleton and West Dean in 1915 and is still thriving to this day. 

Sussex is also the oldest County Federation formed in 1917, our area covers very rural areas fromThe South Downs to the coast.  There are 121 WIs in villages and towns all very different, some with a large membership and others smaller.
