Who We Are

Inner Wheel New Zealand is part of an international women's organisation where friendship and giving back go hand in hand. We are a welcoming community of women who support each other and make a difference - locally, nationally, and globally. Founded in 1924, we're in over 100 countries connecting people and impacting lives.

What We Stand For

Connection & Belonging - Friendship

Inner Wheel New Zealand is built on friendship, connection, and a genuine sense of belonging - the genuine, lasting bonds that form when women work alongside each other on things that matter.

"A place where women connect with like-minded women and feel safe, supported, and as though they belong."

Action & Impact - Service

Inner Wheel New Zealand turns connection into action, supporting communities through hands-on support and real effort. It is women who live in a community deciding what that community needs and doing something about it.

"Ordinary women working together to make an extraordinary impact."

Inspiring Growth - Women Empowering Women

Inner Wheel New Zealand supports women to lead, contribute, and grow at every stage of life. This is what Inner Wheel makes possible when the other three Objects come together women connect deeply, act on shared purpose, think beyond their borders, and rise together.

"Giving all women a chance to learn leadership roles in a safe environment."

Global Community - International Understanding

Inner Wheel New Zealand is proudly local, with the strength and credibility of being part of one of the world's largest women's organisations spanning over 100 countries and connected by shared values.

"Your local community is your home and your passport to women doing extraordinary things across the globe. Act Local Think Global"

Our History

Inner Wheel was founded in Manchester in 1924 and arrived in New Zealand in 1937. Since then, it has evolved into a vibrant network of over 33 clubs across the two islands.

We’re proud of our legacy — and excited about the future.
