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

🔹 Event: Mentorship Bridges, Not Walls
🔹 IW Croatia and IW Italy

On 21 March 2026 at the Palazzo Paternò in Caserta, Italy, an 8-year-old friendship was renewed ceremonially in an elegant setting. District Chairmen Sandra Neretljaković (District 191, IW Croatia) and Trofimena Forte (District 210, IW Italy) reaffirmed a friendship founded on shared values, cooperation, and mutual respect. A delegation of 26 members from IW Croatia and 11 members from IW Italy witnessed the event. In the exchange of mementoes, District 210 presented a special plaque. The delegation from IW Croatia presented a monograph in Italian, "Croatia – Christianity, History and Art", published for an exhibition at the Vatican, together with a replica of the Baptismal Font of Prince Višeslav, one of Croatia’s most treasured historical and cultural symbols.

The Croatian members also visited the magnificent Royal Palace of Caserta, Naples, Sorrento, and Pompeii. Such was the memorable and warm hospitality extended by the Italian friends. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine desire to make every guest feel welcome transformed the visit into a true celebration of friendship. The fellowship will be remembered as a beautiful combination of culture, history, and human connection, qualities that reflect the very essence of Inner Wheel.

The renewal of this friendship agreement once again demonstrated how Inner Wheel connects women of different cultures and languages through the shared ideals of friendship, service, and international understanding. By building bridges across borders, we create lasting relationships that continue to inspire and unite future generations.

🔹 Event: High Fashion and Philanthropy at Fundraising Gala
🔹 IW Northern Cyprus, District 222
🔹 Inner Wheel Club of Kale

An exclusive evening organised by the Inner Wheel Club of Kale, under the sponsorship of the Derya Group, took place at the poolside of Paşa Hotel in Nicosia. It attracted significant attention with the evening gown fashion show and gala dinner. Models from Hayriye Vurdu Agency walked the red carpet, showcasing the season’s most elegant evening wear designs.

The most striking moment of the night occurred during the finale. Models stood on stage holding cards that read, “Peace is the Most Powerful Form of Elegance” and “True Elegance is Completed with Peace". Those powerful visual statements, combined with the host’s speech, created an impactful and memorable moment appreciated by the press and promoted on social media.

Club President Derya Alp emphasised that the evening was not merely an aesthetic event, but also a platform to highlight the importance of women’s solidarity, social awareness, and messages of peace. Guests were elated to hear that the proceeds of their contributions will support the club’s ongoing Greening Project.

The excitement of the evening peaked when a lucky guest won a beautiful, original piece of art by the famous Ruzen Atakan in a raffle.
