Welcome to AWBS International Women’s Club – where culture, camaraderie, and community unite. Established in 1981 as an American women’s club, today we are a vibrant international community with 200+ women from 26 countries. Whether you're new to the UK, a returning British expat, or seeking international friendships, AWBS extends a warm welcome. We meet monthly around and about Ascot/Sunninghill and invite residents of Berkshire and Surrey and the immediate surrounds to join us.

"I arrived in the area from London and was swimming when the loveliest lady, Charmaine, suggested I come along to a meeting! It was the best thing I’ve ever done! I made friends for life, felt supported, had fun, met like-minded women and joined the Board! I have never looked back and can’t recommend the club highly enough!" — Sunita

Club Life Experience

AWBS is entirely member-run, and volunteering is at the heart of everything we do.  We believe in fostering friendship, mutual support, and meaningful connections while also giving back to the Club. No experience is needed -- just enthusiasm and a willingness to be part of our community.  Ideally, taking on a starring role on the Board or becoming an Activity Leader, or supporting our VP's in non-Board capacities, or just helping out with the occasional task.  We greatly appreciate all our volunteers; the reward is in the Club life experience, enhancing our UK lives.

"My husband and I moved back to the UK after 25 years in the USA, and I didn’t know anyone locally, and I was a bit of a lost soul. I have made some lasting, wonderful friendships, and the club offers such a wide range of activities that I could be busy all the time, if I only had the time" — Carri 

Philanthropy

Our Philanthropy program reflects our commitment to the needs of our local British community. Through charitable initiatives, partnerships, and member-led projects, we aim to make a positive difference by supporting causes that promote wellbeing, opportunity, and giving. By working together, our Philanthropy Team not only strengthens our club ethos with charitable support, but the wider community around us.
