Colinton Townswomen

Colinton Townswomen is part of a national organisation Townswomen Guilds.

Eva Hubback and Margery Corbett Ashby saw the need to create an organisation aimed at ordinary women living in the nation's towns and cities; an idea that led to the Townswomen's Guilds movement. The first Townswomen's Guild was formed in 1929.

Today Townswomen's Guilds remains one of Britain's leading women's groups.

The organisation prides itself in the involvement with radical local, national and global concerns.

Members meet regularly to develop new skills, exchange ideas, discuss topical issues and organise charitable events nationwide.

More importantly, Townswomen's Guilds provides the opportunity for women everywhere to belong to an organisation within which members offer support, companionship and encouragement for women to honour their past and realise their future.
