The INSPIRATION as Inner Wheel members

Inner Wheel is the wonderful organisation that has given all of us the chance to STEP UP and champion women and girls. We have the opportunity to create programmes that serve the needy and less fortunate in society, and to support women, children and their communities.

The hidden benefit of our service projects, in fact the gift we receive by our actions, is the sense of achievement we feel. That wonderful warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you help somebody in need, when you simply brighten someone’s day just because you can.

At the end of the day what really matters is not what we brought but what we built, not what we received but what we shared, not our competence but our character, and not our success but our significance.

Home is behind you, Inner Wheel is around you and the world is ahead. The future of Inner Wheel is in our hands — let’s all Step Up and Lead by Example.

Be the first to say “Hello”.

Be kind, leave a legacy of love and kindness.
Be thoughtful, compliment people every day.
Be considerate, treat everyone the way you want to be treated.
Be supportive, never deprive someone of hope, it may be all they have.

Be kinder than necessary,
never waste an opportunity to be kind.
In a world where you can be anything, be kind!
Every act of kindness is a piece of love we leave behind.

Be the inspiration to like-minded women,
encouraging them to be involved in our magnificent organisation.
Be the Club member who is first to raise her hand,
inspiring others to do the same.

Be the very best version of you and inspire others to do likewise.
Step up and contribute to a positive legacy.

Kay Morland,
President 2025-2026

A unique partnership of Inner Wheel Clubs
🔹 IW Germany and IW Italy

Both Inner Wheel Districts have had partnership meetings since 2017, marked by reciprocal visits. The gathering in 2019 in Verona, Italy, was the last before COVID-19. In 2024, the gatherings restarted in Constance, Germany. There are difficulties to overcome in developing an international understanding. The differences in language, work commitments and the ageing membership of some Clubs pose major obstacles. The good news is, many Clubs in Germany and Italy are still seeking each other out.

At the end of April this year, members of IW Germany were invited to the meeting in Galzignano Terme, a province of Padua, Italy. A club partnership was signed between the IWC Cremona and IWC Ravensburg (photo 1). With a certificate signed by both Clubs, there is thus a "promise" of regular exchange and mutual visits to deepen the friendship, foster cooperation and strengthen international understanding.

The project aimed to raise awareness about the vital importance of water and contribute to a more conscious and sustainable future for the next generations. In the spirit of friendship and cooperation, the project highlights not only environmental awareness but also the strength of international solidarity.
