The Women's Network of the Methodist Church aims to encourage, enable and equip women to participate fully in the life of the Church and in Society.

It does this through:

• Training in specific skills
• Conferences and events on issues and themes
• Different styles of worship and ideas for worship
• Campaigns in which women may be actively involved
• Provision of information about other groups and resources
• Mutual support through all of the above

More information about the national work of Network can be found on the Network pages of the Methodist Church website.
