Prestbury WI Trustees Report
Year to 31[st] August 2025
This year has been a busy one.
We have had various one-off events for WI members including very successful Abba evening, a Spring coffee morning, and our 100[th] Celebration of the Prestbury WI hall late in the year. This is along with our regular monthly meetings and various groups including a weekly afternoon social, Tai Chi and Ukulele groups, fortnightly line dancing, monthly book clubs and walking group and our annual Birthday and Christmas meals.
The hall is also used throughout the week by a range of regular lets.
As well as undertaking our many regular activities the WI continues to support food and period poverty by donations made at our monthly meetings. The WI also supports members who are involved with local charities by advertising and attending events.
Prestbury Women’s Institute continues to be led by a dedicated President who is supported by an effective committee. This structure is supported by a number of subcommittees who focus on specific topics. These include a Catering Committee and an Events Committee.
