MAUK

MAUK, the first and leading Malayalee community organisation in the UK. Its history can be traced back to V K Krishna Menon’s Kerala Samajam of the 1930s.

The Malayalee Association of the United Kingdom (MAUK) is the first and leading Malayalee community organisation in the UK. In 1974, a handful of members of Kerala Samajam, who settled in the UK along with the newly migrated Malayalees from India and Singapore, registered ‘Malayalee Association of the UK’ as a friendly society. In 1987, MAUK Trust was formed and was registered under the charities

commissions act as a charitable society. The same year MAUK also bought its own freehold property: 671 Romford Road, Manor Park, London E12 5AD, which is now known as ‘Kerala House, London’ ...the home of British Malayalees. In 2004, both MAUK and MAUK Trust were merged and re-registered as a charitable company for better administration.

Kerala brought its flavours, colours and traditions to India’s Independence Day celebrations!

MAUK was delighted to be part of the Independence Day celebrations at the High Commission of India, UK, where states from across India came together to showcase their unique food, culture and heritage.

From the irresistible aroma of dosa, idli and sambar to mellowing and hearty buttermilk, our stall stayed busy throughout the day!

And it wasn’t just the food that drew the crowds — Kathakali, Mohiniyattam and Theyyam costumes and props became a huge attraction, with visitors enjoying photographs and experiencing a glimpse of Kerala’s vibrant cultural traditions.

It was a busy, joyful and truly memorable day for MAUK. ❤️

Thank you, HCI, for inviting MAUK and giving us the opportunity to showcase a little piece of Kerala at this wonderful celebration of India! 🇮🇳
