Who We Are
About the SWRI
Scottish Women's Rural Institutes is one of the largest women's organisations in Scotland and boasts about 20,500 members. Members informally call the organisation the Rural.
There are lots of opportunities to get involved in SWRI: attend classes in crafts, go to cookery demonstrations, go to summer school, join a drama group, sing in a choir, take part in sport, go on a study tour at home or abroad, debate local issues, organise events or simply enjoy the friendship of fellow members at the monthly meeting.
If you have any questions or would like more information on SWRI, please get in touch with us at Headquarters.
