2025 saw WRN hold our first ever Women’s festival in Derby. Organised by local WRN members in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, it attracted a large audience from across the UK.
The Festival theme was Celebrating Grassroots Activism and we welcomed speakers and guests from England, Ireland , Scotland and Wales to give presentations on their local activities and tactics.
Mary Howden is a former Head of Education and Workforce Development at the Scottish Social Services, Director of WRN, and Coordinator for WRN Scotland She talked about the journey taken by WRN Scotland to establish a grassroots women's movement. From small beginnings with 14 women working together to get their message out, to how they grew their membership to cover the whole of Scotland.
