History
The New Zealand Society was established in 1927 as a dining club for New Zealanders in London. Since then, the club has developed into the leading organisation for those in the UK with strong links with Aotearoa.
Our patron is His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh and our vice patron is The New Zealand High Commissioner
 
Society's Aims
We wish to promote the interests of New Zealand in the United Kingdom by maintaining and furthering good relations between the two countries. A wide range of activities is on offer of mutual interest to those from New Zealand and those who are interested in New Zealand.
 
England and Scotland
There are two New Zealand Society entities in the United Kingdom, one in England and the other in Scotland.  Both organisations work together and complement each other's efforts in supporting members and running various functions throughout the year.
 
Non-Profit organisation
We are a non-profit organisation supported entirely by our membership base and also from the proceeds of regular events.
