Operation Townswomen

Helping TG reach our 100th Anniversary and beyond.

What do we want to achieve with Operation Townswomen

Townswomen’s Guilds(TG)have a proud history of providing TG members with the opportunity to have fun, friendship, education and to be part of a force for change by campaigning on local and national issues.

A reduction in membership has meant that for a number of years we have had to use reserves to keep TG going.

Trustees have already taken action by reducing costs , these actions have resulted in a saving of £125,000 per annum and Trustees, together with members, will continue to look for further savings.

Our vision is to continue to make women’s lives better and maintain the traditions of TG while at the same time looking to the future and encouraging alternative ways to be a TG member.

For TG to continue to make women’s lives better and to reach it centenary year and beyond... We must take action if TG is not to close
