NEW ZEALAND WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION
Founded 1930
For NZ women in the UK
Kia ora - Welcome!
The New Zealand Women’s Association welcomes all women with a strong New Zealand connection either through birth, marriage, family, work or friendship. Joining the NZWA is a great way to make new friends and enjoy the company of like-minded women who share a link with New Zealand.
Every year we organise an interesting and diverse schedule of events including lunches, usually with a speaker, and visits to places of interest, often not open to the general public. Our autumn drinks party and Christmas lunches are special occasions, greatly enjoyed by members, partners and friends.
The NZWA has something to offer all women so please contact us and join us at one of our events. You will be assured of a warm and friendly welcome.

Events
Every year we organise an interesting and diverse schedule of events including lunches, usually with a speaker, and visits to places of interest, often not open to the general public. Our autumn drinks party and Christmas lunches are special occasions, greatly enjoyed by members, partners and friends.
Coffee Mornings
We also arrange regular small group meetings, both north and south of the Thames for morning coffee where you can just turn up and enjoy a chat with fellow members old and new.
Walking Group
Plus we host a members’ walking group which has recently completed the Capital Ring walk and is continuing to explore other paths near London.
European Holidays
In recent years, we have also offered some wonderful European trips including Monet’s garden at Giverny, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam and in 2018, Le Quesnoy near Lille, with important New Zealand connections from WW1.
UK Holidays
In 2022 we decided to remain in the UK and enjoyed a delightful few days in Yorkshire with vintage train rides, visits to the Bronte museum at Haworth and Castle Howard, plus Whitby and Harrogate. We plan to travel elsewhere in the UK in the future.
NZ-related Events
We also make members aware of activities offered by other New Zealand community groups and sister organisations through membership of FIWAL (Federation of International Women’s Associations in London) including the Australian Women’s Club, all of whom have lively programmes of events.
