Julie joined us in 2022 and quickly accepted an invite to join our committee. She works full time in communications, and runs our social media and website channels.
A keen crafter, Julie has spoken at our meetings on 'A miniature obsession', about her collection of Dolls Houses and passion for making all things miniature. She has also presented to us on solo female travelling by train across Europe and Russia.
We asked Julie, what does the WI mean to you?
"It's like a new door has opened in my life," she said. "I enjoy working but wanted something different that still gives me a strong sense of purpose. The friendship is wonderful and everyone is very supportive of each other. The WI is about being a force for good in the community, a trusted place for women to meet and learn from one another. It's also focused on making a real difference and providing opportunities for learning and self development."
And a final word on the famous WI jam: "Divine!"
