County Durham has a very active community of Women’s Institutes, made up of clever, determined and talented women who care about their local community and their fellow WI members. When the UK went into lockdown in 2020, being unable to physically meet did not deter them and they came up a number of ingenious ways to keep in touch with their members, including taking on their own radio show.
The shows were a fascinating insight into life for County Durham women during this difficult period, and this archive aims to ensure that message is retained for future listeners to share and enjoy.
