Classes of Membership

Branch Membership: is open to all women.

• Branches have a varied programme of events including; speakers, lunches, outings, discussion group meetings and seminars, which provides the opportunity to make a wide circle of friends.
• Branch members receive copies of the quarterly NCW News Publication.
• Branches belong to Regions and often work with them on joint projects of local or national interest.
• Branches work with local affiliated societies and other organisations.
• Branches send representatives to the National Policy Committees: who give reports back to branch meetings for discussion, which sometimes leads to branch action.
• Branches debate and discuss topical issues, often responding to Action Briefings and Government Consultation papers. This work at grass roots level enables members to express their views and opinions on matters of importance and contributes to the aims and objectives of the organisation.
• Branches can submit resolutions to the national conference, which if passed, become policy of the NCW. The resolutions are also sent to government and NCW lobby for action to be taken.
