Would you like to help us make a difference in our centenary year?
Described by someone who knew her well in 1924, our founder Margarette Golding was a remarkable woman of great courage, intelligence, and foresight who was the driving force of Inner Wheel, a name she had chosen. She had great understanding of human nature, and faith in women which inspired her to create the organisation which next year, celebrates its special one hundredth anniversary. Margarette’s wish for Inner Wheel was to promote true friendship, encourage the ideals of personal service, and foster international understanding.
Today, Inner Wheel is one of the largest voluntary service organisations in the world, with women working to help local, national, and international charities. We all have reasons for getting involved, and make firm, lasting friendships whilst fundraising to make a difference to people’s lives.
In the Forest of Dean, our group led by President Helen Freeman meets once a month at Forest Hills Golf Club. We support local charities including the Food Bank, Baby Bank, Women’s Refuge, CANDI Youth Space, Blood Bikes, FRED, and many more.
Our main fundraising comes from two annual Rotary Half Marathon’s for which we provide catering. At the Speech House pavilion we provide a selection of scrumptious cakes, bacon rolls, tea, and coffee for runners to enjoy and also sell T-shirts to boost funds.
We have fun, and there’s the option to join in activities such as skittles, coffee mornings, and trips out. If you would like to make a difference, contact us on 07730 269362.
