The WI was founded in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll on Anglesey in 1915, and is not just Summer Fayres, jam, tea and cake sales.

The Women's Institute has fought for many campaigns and shockingly was ahead of its time for many.

Instrumental in the introduction of the Bastardy Bill in 1920, the Bill that makes illegitimate Fathers financially responsible for their children.
Campaign on venereal disease 1922
Campaign for free family planning 1973
Campaign for prohibition of female genital mutilation in 1983

Chance for all you boys to say thank you to your Mothers and partners.
