Each WI Member pays a subscription fee for her membership. Subscriptions rates are set by the NFWI Board of Trustees, after consulting the National Council.
WIs now have the flexibility each year to decide whether to either waive their portion of the subscription fee, reduce it slightly, or keep it the same.

New WIs starting from April 2026 will keep all the subscriptions paid by their members in 2026/27 membership year.
Flexibility Policy
WIs can apply the flexibility policy to their 2026/27 subscription. This means they can charge the full amount of the WI portion of the subscription, reduce their portion of the subscription, or waive the WI portion of the subscription entirely.
Multi Membership
Multi members will pay the WI portion only to their second WI. If the WI is not utilising the flexibility policy, this will be £27.10. There is no pro-rata rate for multi membership, and the set fee will remain payable at any time during the year.
Pooling of Fares 2026
There will be no pooling of fares for this membership year as the Annual Meeting will be virtual. There will be a pooling of fares charge in the year when there is an in-person meeting only.
