Project 2 with the Women’s Institute : Membership stocks and flows model needed











National Federation of Women’s Institutes : Project 2

Project:

Produce a prototype model of future membership 

Project description:
The National Federation of Women’s Institutes is a campaigning and educational charity with more than 200,000 members, based in over 6000 local Women's Institutes (WIs) across England and Wales. Whilst the NFWI regularly assesses total membership numbers, and total number of WIs, it has never previously analysed these numbers in a way that would validate or challenge anecdotal evidence, and help guide management action and insight on issues such as: the number, characteristics and geographic locations of members leaving, new recruits, WIs closing and opening.
This project is to produce a protoype membership model for NFWI, that could be used to identify stocks, flows, and interconnections to be able to project the membership levels likely to result from ‘do-nothing’ (with several future scenarios assocated with different assumptions about future social conditions impacting on propensity to join and/or run WIs) or from different recruitment or retention policies. 
Time commitment: 3 days 
The volunteer is asked to commit 3 days initially to build and populate a simple prototype model; at this point, next steps should be discussed with the General Secretary, with additional work either added on or identified as a follow-on project for others, as appropriate

LocationThe volunteer(s) should spend one or two days on site, in discussions with the General Secretary and staff and reviewing systems. The bulk of the work can be carried out off-site.

If you feel you are able to offer your assistance please complete the application form and return along with your CV to amy.hughes@theorsociety.com by 10th March 2020.
