International Inner Wheel

International Inner Wheel is most probably the largest women's Voluntary Service Organisation in the world. We hold Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) status with the United Nations and have representatives in its three centres of Geneva, New York and Vienna and are therefore able to play an important role in today's world.

It is given in many ways from general long term support to providing goods, funds and practical 'hands on' help in emergencies and disaster areas and our members are among the first to respond. The IIW Newsletter, which can be found amongst these pages, will give you an insight into what is happening on a global scale and how our members work tirelessly to Communicate Our Vision.

Inner Wheel members are compassionate people but we are also enthusiastic and fun loving so if you are wanting to help others, have the satisfaction of doing something worthwhile and looking for firm and lasting friendships then please contact us - you will always be most ...Read More
