Campaigning has been an integral part of the WI since 1918; it enables members to join in the debate of issues important to society today. WI campaigns of past and present have made real changes on issues members feel passionate about.

Many previous mandates are still topical today:

• May 1922 Westmoreland Federation resolution regarding the need for Probation Officers.
• June 1927 Berkshire Federation – Food Hygiene.
  
• May 1952 Gloucestershire Federation – donating parts of the body for transplants. 

Resolutions for 2026:

Resolution 1: Accessible Public Toilet Facilities to Promote Dignity, Health and Social

Resolution 2: Action on Women's Homelessness

Resolution 3: Nearer to Nature

Resolution 4: Love your Vulva - Self-Checking is your best defence against Vulvar Cancer

Resolution 5: Every Child needs a Friend

Information on each Resolution can be found on Pages 20-25 in the WI Life November/December 2025 Magazine.

Voting will need to be done on Wednesday 7th January.
