Brentwood Belles Subgroups

WI for the Modern Woman

We host a variety of Subgroups within The Brentwood Belles, designed for all interests, and showcasing the inclusivity and diversity of our members.

Some of our groups, such as the Sewing Bee and the Thirsty Thursdays group, meet monthly, while the Happy Hookers Knitting and Crochet group and the Arrow Belles Darts Team meet weekly. We also have the Menopause Matters and Neurodivergent Support groups that meet less frequently, but keep in touch via group chats. One of the great reasons to get involved with the WI is all the new skills you can learn, and the new friendships you can make.

At the Belles, each of the Subgroups on offer allows you to get the most from your membership. Some members find it easier to get to know people when they first start by joining a smaller group of Belles at one of these groups. A few of our groups are online only, including Buddy Belles, which is a forum for members to connect online, as well as to schedule meet-ups and outings. Each of our Subgroups is listed below alongside the usual days and times the groups meet.

Whatever your interests, we have something to offer!
