Thank You, 2025 Trustee Board Team!🙏❤️

Today marks the last official working day for the Trustee team 2025, as the annual General Body will elect the new board today. 🎊🎉
What an eventful year it was, with packed programmes/sessions/activities week by week and month by month, setting benchmarks for the future. 🏅🪙 The trustee members came together as one team and one heart, from varied industries and professional backgrounds (IT, engineering, healthcare, higher education, procurement, Banking, F&B, Accounting), with a single mission to serve the community.

Their expertise and skills were fully utilised to deliver gold-standard events and secure numerous firsts in the history of MMA 🏆⭐, which included securing the largest grant ever for MMA, UUKMA Kalamela National level 3rd away from home, conceptualising new events such as Sangeetha Sandhya and various sports and arts tournaments, progressing well with gift aid paper works, in addition to successfully conducting all the annual charted events and efficiently running the supplementary school along with various ad-hoc community engagement activities. What an incredible year!

Bidding farewell and thanking the Trustee Board team 2025 for their outstanding performance and dedication to the community. You will be remembered as one of the highly committed and efficient team members. Thank You, team 2025!💫❤️

In alphabetical order, thanking each and every trustee board member for scaling up and taking MMA charitable operations into higher echelons: Anoop, Arunchand, Bibin, Delim, George, Jipsa, Mathew, Mridula, Pranab, Priyanka, Rakesh, Roncy, Sachu, Sajan, Shajimon, Shinto, Subitha! 🙏❤️ 🏆⭐

Annual General Body Meeting

09/01/2026

Snehadooth 2025, the final event of our calendar year (and for the 2025 trustee board activities), marked the combined Christmas and New Year celebrations and was truly memorable, bringing the entire community together for an evening of social bonding, fun, and community engagement. The success of the event (attended by 550+ community members) is a genuine reflection of our unity, hard work, and dedication—coming together as one MMA family. The evening featured three Santas who travelled all the way from the North Pole to spread joy in Manchester, while the children danced, laughed, and celebrated with them in a themed setting and a colourfully decorated hall.

Some of the highlights of the evening were Carol songs (performed by a team of 20+ members), our MMA school student performance (keyboard and 8 cinematic dances), Rev Father’s Christmas message, the office bearers' address and felicitation, updates on the MMA website refresh, a video felicitation of our UUKMA winners, and a recap of the year-long programme conducted by the trustees. The evening was further brightened by a sumptuous dinner, a memorable music and comedy show featuring South Indian celebrities (Binu Adimali and team), followed by an energetic chenda melam performed by Manchester Melam (a team of MMA members).

Our sincere thanks to the Trustee Board, School Parent Governors, our beloved teachers, member volunteers, caterers, external performers, and the true stars of the event—our MMA School students—and their supportive parents. Finally, our heartfelt thanks go to the true strength of MMA—our members. Your presence, encouragement, and unity made our final event of 2025 special.
