Each year, the International President presents a theme to unite members towards a common achievement. When over 100,000 members prevail with one passion, the results can create the change across nations and for generations.

Leadership & Empowerment
The Inner Wheel Club of Manchester was founded in 1924 by Margarette Golding, the first of nearly 4,000 Inner Wheel Clubs today. By 2022, Inner Wheel has grown to more than 120,000 members in 100 countries.
Members are the core of all Inner Wheel Clubs managed by elected Club Executives. Four or more clubs can form an Inner Wheel District with elected officers. The growth of Districts led to the formation of National Governing Bodies in several countries.
Office bearers hold positions for 1 to 3 years where each year starts 1 July and ends 30 June. Every Inner Wheel member has the opportunity to hold office, to experience, to learn and to lead. It is a nurturing platform for young adults to start.
