Women's Safety Workshop, 29 November



London West End Women's Institute are pleased to announce we are hosting a women’s safety workshop on Saturday 29th of November from 0930 to 1400hrs.

Central London (Zone 1) location. Near Tottenham Court Road underground station. (About 8 minutes walk away) to the Upper Vestry Hall of St George's Bloomsbury.


We're offering you 4.5 hours of fun, education and empowerment.
  • Learn the tips and strategies to keep you safe when out & about on public transport or out generally.
  • Learn some physical techniques to get physically out of trouble.
  • John The Policeman with 40 years experience in the Met is taking the morning session
  • Kim with 10+ years doing Self defence for Women is taking the afternoon session. 

Let’s learn, connect and have fun. 
We just ran a pilot male workshop on November 12th and the men reported learning lots at the event.

Do come along, make a friend, learn something new & useful.

LWEWI are not your typical WI.  
No “Pearls & Twinsets here”.
More making memories, mayhem and mischief. 

This particular event is only open to women, but later events may be open to all. 

This is one of several workshops we are planning in the coming months to fill our knowledge gaps.

Next Meeting - 15 January 2025

Our first meeting of 2025 is on Wednesday 15 January, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm in the Upper Vestry Hall of St George's Bloomsbury.



This month Anita and Caroline from Made Kind will be joining us.  This isn't just a sales pitch for their natural cleaning products, but also a how to guide: if you have an idea how do you get it made and sold?  They are here to tell us all about that, as well as to demo how to make some scented bath salts. You can find out more about them on their website, here: Our Story – MadeKind



The meeting is open to all women, whether members or visitors. We do have a small charge (£5) for non-members to help us cover costs, although your first visit is free. You can message or email us (londonwestendwi@gmail.com) if you'd like more info, or to let us know you're coming as a visitor so we can look out for you.
