Membership
Members are women of all ages, cultures and ethnic groups, who join their local clubs to give service to women and girls. Each club identifies the needs of its community, then establishes specific projects to address those needs. Clubs are grouped into Regions (within the UK) and National Associations (countries with five clubs or more), to enable them to widen their community, and Regions or Nation Associations may also have projects with all Clubs within them will contribute to. Countries in the Caribbean also have a special bond, and are part of the Caribbean Network, to enable them to work together.
