In this episode, we re-live the very special event that was the NFWI Annual Meeting, 2024, held on 6 June at The Royal Albert Hall. We hear key moments from Nazir Afzal OBE’s landmark speech on the “pandemic” of violence against women and girls, and sit down with Spice Girl Mel B MBE before she addressed 5,000 members in the hall - about her lived experience of an abusive 10 year marriage. We also hear from Eddie Crouch, Chair of the British Dental Association – as our new resolution ‘Dental Health Matters’ gets the green light to be the WI’s new campaign. And with members’ voices and a huge chorus of WI anthem ‘Jerusalem’, if you weren’t there, it will feel like you were!
