Methodist Women in Britain (MWiB) is not a private club: if you are a woman and a Methodist, then you already belong to this group.
We have a proud heritage stemming from the twin roots of Women’s Work, founded in 1858 to support training and care for women missionaries, and Women’s Fellowship, started in 1945 out of a concern to address social problems resulting from the war. These two movements merged in 1987 to form the Women’s Network of the Methodist Church, with a clear place in the Methodist Connexional team. Change came in 2008 resulting in the launch in 2011 of Methodist Women in Britain as an independent, self-financing organisation.
Our aim today is to connect women with an interest in creative spirituality and a passion for global social justice.

The District President’s Charities
The District President chooses two charities that we support through fundraising and personal giving throughout the President’s two-year tenure. An example of this is Sunshine Money which is collected throughout the summer and dedicated at an appropriate event. The idea is that you save a pound (if you can) for each day of sunshine during August and then it is collected during October. To find out more, visit the District MWiB web page.
