KIC was set up 21 years ago by a group of women whose husbands had been posted to the UK with their professions.
The towns of Kent around Sevenoaks seemed a natural drawcard for expats wanting to experience the countryside of England combined with the easy access to London.
In many cases and it is still true today, these wives had to give up professional careers, leave family and friends, be faced with a foreign language to learn and a new culture to adapt to. The immediate contact with women in similar situations helped make this adjustment that much easier.
Today, you don't have to be new to England to qualify to join KIC. If you are from another country, or a Brit who has lived abroad as an adult for 12 consecutive months or more, you are welcome. A full programme of social events and activities awaits you.
Open Door
KIC is a member of Open Door.
"Open Door" is a network of International Women's Associations which are non-political, non-religious and non-commercial, and where membership is open to all nationalities to offer inter-club contact and communication.
In this way so much is being done to help each other through contact with women of different nations by promoting mutual co-operation, furthering cultural exchanges and cultivating friendships which altogether lead to a richer and broader understanding of each other.
