Starting the Big Conversation
The WI’s Time to Talk Campaign is about making sure we all know
what our loved ones’ wishes are about organ donation. The decision
to be a donor is up to each of us (you can become Registered
Donor here if you like), but in the end, it’s left to thousands of families
every year to turn those wishes into actions.

We’re starting the Big Conversation, which means we’re asking each

and every WI member to:
one about their organ donation decision
Get creative and make something through craft or illustration to
show who you spoke to
Take a photo and send it to us
it to your children when you were cooking dinner in the kitchen? Maybe
you mentioned to a close friend after getting your driving
license renewed? Perhaps reading a story about donation in the paper
prompted you to talk to a family member. Transform who you spoke to
(or are going to speak to) and the context of that conversation
into whatever craft or creative project you like. It can be as skilful
(crochet, pottery, decoupage, quilling, embroidery) or basic (spell
out their name in icing or take a selfie spelling out who you
told!) as you want.

Take a photo of it and post it to social media using
the hashtag #WITimetoTalk. Or email it to the NFWI Public Affairs
team (publicaffairs@nfwi.org.uk) and we'll publish it for you.

The results will be shared online over the next year on Twitter,
Facebook and an online photo gallery. At the end, we will create
a massive mosaic of photographs of all the WI members’ crafts
for a special exhibition as part of the WI’s centenary year.

With each photo representing a real conversation, together they will
show how WI members have found the Time to Talk, and inspire
others to do the same. Remember every single discussion about
organ donation is part of a bigger conversation.
