To mark International Women’s Day 2026 and Women’s History Month, London South Bank University will host the launch of:

This new co-produced Toolkit has been created by the UKRI AHRC funded project Women’s Grassroots Activism in England and Ireland 1918 to the present. This project ran from August 2023-January 2025 and set out to identify how grassroots women’s organisations can co-identify strategies to safeguard their future activities and activism for the next 100+ years. The network worked hand-in-hand with our participant women’s organisations: the Irish Countrywomen’s Association (ICA); the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI); the Federation of Women’s Institutes of Northern Ireland (WINI); the Soroptimists Tunbridge Wells and District Club; Soroptimists South East Region; Soroptimists Republic of Ireland and Soroptimists Northern Ireland, all affiliated to the Soroptimists International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI). Together these groups represent over 200,000 women enabling members to come together for friendship, education, crafting and activism.

Our launch event includes representatives from our participating women’s groups and the project research team who will come together to reflect on their experiences of being involved in the project, and to celebrate the launch of our project’s 100+ Women’s Grassroots Activism Toolkit.

The wider membership of our participating organisations is invited to attend, and we look forward to reflecting together on the important history and on-going activism of voluntary women’s organisations across Britain and Ireland.
