Chairman’s Welcome
We are a friendly club of approximately 160 British and Commonwealth ladies living and working in Düsseldorf. Our club also includes a small percentage of other nationalities including German ladies. We come from all backgrounds and walks of life, but what we do have in common is a sense of community and fun. We pride ourselves on being an all-inclusive community and we encourage women of all ages to share life together for our mutual benefit and to ensure that the club, founded in 1946, continues to thrive and meet the needs of English-speaking women.
We believe that we are an important link with home for our members now living in Germany and we are also a life-line to adjusting to life here in Düsseldorf for newcomers. We can provide members with help and practical advice on situations such as finding schools, where to shop, best restaurants and general survival skills (e.g. finding a doctor and form-filling if your German isn’t good enough) and help you to settle in and make friends here in Düsseldorf.
This website gives a comprehensive overview of the club and its activities, but for more information or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! The committee and I look forward to meeting you soon at one of our regular events.

British Women's Club nominated charities 2025
Whilst we are predominantly a social and a community club, we also undertake charity work. Below are our two nominated charities for 2025
CHAS - Children's Hospices Across Scotland
Children’s Hospices Across Scotland is the single specialist provider of hospice services for babies, children and young people (0-21) and their families across Scotland. Support and unwavering care is given to families through the terrifying heartbreak of knowing their child may die young and this charity exists to ensure that no one faces the death of their child alone.

DIE TAFEL DÜSSELDORF
The Tafel Düsseldorf are committed to ensuring that surplus food ends up in the hands of the people who need it most.
In this way, they indirectly help to alleviate financial hardship and at the same time enable those who need help to eat a healthy and balanced diet. To this end, they work together with retailers and manufacturers who provide them with their goods that are no longer saleable but of impeccable quality.
To ensure that the food donations reach where they are needed, around 70 volunteers work for the Tafel. With refrigerated transports, the food is collected from bakeries, supermarkets and other goods dispensers and then prepared for collection at the independent distribution points.
