About Us

Where do we meet?

Fulham WI meets at 7:30pm on the first Monday of each month in the upstairs function room of The Peterborough (Formerly The Southern Cross) on New Kings Road (at the bottom of Wandworth brodge Road and opposite Eel Brook Common).

Why did we form?

Fulham WI was formed in July 2003 by a group of young women living in Fulham and the surrounding area, who felt that there was a space in the locality for a 'modern women's group with a traditional ethos'.

The girls who initiated FWI felt that community spirit should be given a chance to flourish wherever people live and that FWI would offer local women the chance to make friends, learn new (and consolidate old) skills, benefit the surrounding community and feel part of it.

FWI has since gone from strength to strength, with many friendships having already been formed. Its members now look forward to a successful and happy future, filled with friendship, fun and purpose.

We started this blog in May 2006 to improve the availability of information about FWI and to reach a wider audience.

FWI is a member of The Surrey Federation of WIs.

Participation includes the completion of questionnaires, puzzles and a blood test. On completion of the study you will receive £20 as a thank you. By taking part you would be contributing to further research and treatment for those with eating disorders. For further information please contact me (Emily Blow) on 07834 989668 or email me at emily.blow@iop.kcl.ac.uk Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Emily, thank you for your request. Sounds like a very worthy cause- if you provide me with dates/ times, how long the tests, ect will take; as well as where you're holding the trial, I can transfer your comment into a blog post. You can either leave these as another comment or email me (by clicking on name).Sarah

Nikolas,
Many thanks for your interest in Fulham WI. We did have a presentation on the benefits of making a will last year, so will not be likely to repeat it so soon. However, feel free to contact me as Speaker Coordinator (via the Committee page) if you'd like to discuss further.
Claire.

Your members might like to know about the Cinnamon Trust which provides volunteer dog-walkers and foster carers for all pets ifn their owners are ill or incapacitated. That's it in a nutshell; they do lots more but the foster caring and dog-walking are probably the most useful. I'm a volunteer dog walker for them. Contact head office for more info or help.

I thought that your members may like to know about some fabulous new creative activity courses that you can do in the evenings or weekends, bag and hat designing are among them. I have just finished a course run by Katherine and it was fantastic! Check out Katherine Elizabeth Hats on Facebook for more info.
Thanks Kitty chipps

Hi There,

I make handmade jewellery mostly from recycled glass beads from Ghana and some semi precious stones. My jewellery is very affordable and can be worn everyday. I was wondering if there would be a monday available for me to sell my jewellery at your meetings. Please have a look at www.patriciaasare.com and would be nice to know your thoughts.

Kind Regards,
Patricia
