The National Council of Women is an educational charity run by women for women. It is non-party and non-sectarian, and all women in sympathy with its aims and objectives may join.  NCW relies both on subscriptions and charitable giving to run its day to day affairs.   

Friends of NCW are subscribers who receive the quarterly newsletter to keep them in touch for a small annual contribution.  They can attend NCW seminars and conferences. Membership of the Friends scheme is open to men and women.  [ APPLICATION FORM FOR FRIENDS' MEMBERSHIP]

Classes of membership for those who wish to be more active . . .    

Branch membership is open to all women.  Branches have a varied programme with  speakers, outings, lunches, discussions and seminars - and, of course, provide a wide circle of friends.   [MORE]

Individual members  pay their fees directly to Headquarters and receive the quarterly newsletter and the reports of all the NCW committees' work by post or email, and this suits working women and those not living near a Branch.   Individual members can participate in the special interest groups that meet at the Danbury Street Policy Centre in London. Some individual members have organised themselves into small discussion groups, meeting informally in each other’s houses.

Members of societies affiliated to NCW participate in the work of the special interest committees.  Open meetings of these groups  are held three times a year and  reports from each committee are sent to their committee members by email or post.
