NWR Online Groups

Our aim at NWR is to connect women, whether in person or more remotely.

Many of our members are unable to join local group meetings for a variety of reasons but still want to meet and chat with other women.

If you are an Independent Member, a member of a local group who is unable to get to meetings, are housebound or simply don’t want to go out, then our online groups may be for you.

NWR Online Morning, Afternoon and Evening Groups

Like most of our local groups, the online groups meet regularly for light-hearted chat and more serious discussion on a regular basis.

Focusing on different topics each time, group members get to know each other in an informal setting over Zoom. We limit the number of members in each group so that everyone feels able to make a meaningful contribution.

We have morning, afternoon and evening groups, usually meeting once a month.

If you would like to find out more or want to join one of our groups, select your preferred link below and click to join or make an enquiry to the group. We will be in contact to invite you to be part of the group.
