Helpston Women's Institute

Helpston Women's Institute was formed in 1934 and is open to all women over the age of 16.

Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month in the Village Hall at 7.30 pm. Most months there is a speaker and over the years these have covered a wide range of subjects.

For the past 55 years we have organised a party for the Senior Citizens of Helpston at which a sit down meal is provided, followed by an evening's entertainment.

The W.I. is run by a committee and new members are very welcome.
