Outreach and WNC Partners 

Any women's group can apply to become a WNC partner. Women can also become individual partners if they have particular expertise, such as research in women's studies, or women who are equality officers at the local government level.  

What the WNC does for partners

The role of the WNC is to present the views of women to government. As such, the WNC offers opportunities for partners to input and help shape the messages conveyed by the Commission to government. Partners also help to identify ‘experts’ in a variety of important fields, and can have better access to become involved with regional or local consultations and keep their members up to date about government initiatives. Quarterly newsletters are sent to partners, as are a range of other interesting and useful information on developments both from within government and from our partners and the wider sector. Visits to the WNC website also provide useful information about what is happening in the UK on women’s issues and gender mainstreaming. 

If you are interested in becoming a WNC partner, please complete the application form and return it to us.
 

Here you will find guidance notes for completing our partnership application form and our Principles of partnership.

We also have compiled a complete list of our partner organisations in our Partners Directory which is set out alphabetically, by region or by interest.
