Kent International Club - KIC

The Kent International Club for Women is a social Club based in Sevenoaks and the surrounding areas of Kent in the South-East of England.

Here women of all nationalities and ages can meet to have fun, exchange experiences of living in England and participate in activities.

You can join KIC if you are a non-British citizen living here. Brits who have lived abroad for twelve consecutive months as an adult are also welcome to join KIC. Membership is for women only. 

The History

KIC was set up 23 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 draw card 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.

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.
