A great way to kick off 2025's media coverage for the WI - a lovely piece in the BBC about our virtual WI groups; supporting the flexibility needs and choices of members who find it tricky to meet in person, and proving a "lifeline" to women: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The public and this profession have a simple message for the PM. The clock is ticking on NHS dentistry and this Government must make good on its promises. If reform is kicked into the long grass there won’t be a service left to save.

Since 1918 at every general election more men have been elected than women. Centenary Action's graph shows that whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament #AskHerToStand

We signed an open letter to David Lammy calling on Gov to keep its promises. The last time the aid budget was slashed, progs supporting women & girls took 1 of the biggest hits. We stand w/CARE International UK in urging Gov to commit 20% of UK aid directly to protect fund #GenderEquality.
