About the Basildon Malayalee Association

It is a registered, non-profit, socio-cultural organisation formed by people who originated from the South Indian state of Kerala and are now living in Basildon, a town in Essex, United Kingdom. Basildon is a vibrant growing town with easy access to London, major hospitals and airports. The Malayalee community in Basildon is growing at a very rapid pace and BMA now has more than 250 registered members.

As Malayalees living in the United Kingdom, we cannot forget the legacy, traditions and cultural heritage of Kerala even while pursuing a very busy schedule in our lives. This society was created to be a platform for maintaining the legacy and goodness of our country for our growing youth and also as a reminder to each of us. By working together, we can retain the richness of the Malayalam language and pass on the values and heritage of our traditional arts, games and cuisine.

The purpose of this Association is to promote social, cultural, charitable, educational and literary activities among the Malayalees living in Basildon & surrounding areas. BMA organises co-operative and charitable activities in the general interest and well-being of the members of the association as and when required, and co-ordinates such activities with other communities.

The Association tries to preserve and promote Indian culture, especially Kerala culture, through various festivals and events organised throughout the year.

The Basildon Malayalee Association (BMA) also proudly conducts charity events as a part of the regular activities of the organisation within the United Kingdom and also in India. This website is a huge leap in joining the digital platforms of modern times, with a humble aim to retain and spread our heritage to the upcoming generation.
