Welcome to Townswomen's Guild

Townswomen are discerning individuals with great concern and passion for their communities.  They have excellent networks, they influence people, they get things done.  These ladies are members of the Townswomen's Guilds, a professional organisation formed when women first won the right to vote, with the express aim of educating women about good citizenship.  The organisation has stood the test of time and remains a powerful lobby on national and regional issues, fighting on a broad range of matters today that affect men and women alike.

Getting Together

Townswomen's Guilds members are nationwide, of all ages, backgrounds and experiences and meet up regularly through our 840 branches to enjoy a range of enriching activities including:

• National events and conferences
• Organised leisure activities

Making a Difference

We believe in the power of united communication to help bring about positive social change. In recent years Townswomen have used their voices to campaign on issues such as:

• Care in the long term
• Fairer funding for adult education
• Domestic violence
• Human trafficking
• Post Office Closures
