Hello – we are reviving the Stirling and Clacks branch and keen to connect with other active groups – to learn from and support if appropriate any initiatives, events etc… that you are doing. Keen not to reinvent any wheels and learn from good practice.

Is there anyone one out there?

Hi Dorothy

I agree 100% with what you say 😄Let’s do everything we can possibly do!

Re insurance, WfI NA is an affiliated group of Believe in Scotland and as such we are covered by their insurance to hold public events and activities

The latest version of the IndyApp is a lot more user friendly as, like you, I found it very clunky before.

Thanks Fiona 🙂

I certainly don’t want to discourage people signing up for the new indy app as any positive move should be supported. But I signed up for the last version and few Yes groups or supporters used it. My local Yes group signed up but found a lack of information and others to engage with.

I wonder if at present, instead of encouraging supporters…

Some of you may have already heard of the National YES Registry, it’s been around since 2014 IndyRef, and now they have designed an App that will allow YES supporters to #GetCounted.

Always good to hear of different ways people get together especially in rural areas where distances and lack…

Our most recent activity was litter picks with the YES bags that we got from YES PRESTWICK. This is a really good activity to get folk out and about and visibly doing a good deed for their local community. If you want YES bags send me a contact email on here and I’ll pass it onto YES…

Thanks for posting @fionamcgregor I didn’t know half of what Esther revealed about how the Parliament was set up. Hope everyone sees it.

I like this idea.

This sounds a good move but how many of the local groups are active? I found a website for WFI Borders (and one for WFI Berwickshire) but nothing has been posted for over three years. I suspect there are many branches in a similar situation. A wee campaign to stir them into action again would be good. Perhaps to kick it off Fatima Joji or…

Following the discussions at our recent AGM. The National Committee has been reflecting on the feedback, especially around how we can strengthen our strategy and improve communication with local WFI groups across Scotland.

As a result, I’m really pleased to share a new initiative: the Women for Independence Steering Group.

This Steering Group will…
