When coming to UK defenitely we seeked help from friends/relatives who already settled here either to pick up from airport or looking for a house to rent. On another occassion when going to a job interview in a new city it is quiet good to have some contacts there locally either to find a B&B near the hospital/company to reach for the interview in time. Same for a university interview also. As an individual we can't have local contacts in every city if you may need to travel. If someone can offer a room for a night accomodation whether paid or unpaid it will be a great relief for the individual so as to reach the place of interview in time.

Many keralites in different parts of UK had already joined in our network who are willing to help others in their spare time. So you can send them a email if you need little help from that area. Since it is goodwill gesture from volunteers please dont offend them with mails.

How you can support

To continue the UUKMA's support we required volunteers (person to contact) who can work as co ordinator in your area/city. UUKMA likes to designate a 1 or 2 volunteer in every city where we keralites are there. Your contact details will not be publicly displayed without your consent. Since it is a social service, UUKMA leaving all doors open to join as a volunteer we wont be looking whether you are an association joined with UUKMA or not. And it will be good if elected representatives from your association comes forward to be an volunteer.

No one will forget the experiences when you are new to a city and noone is there to help you when settling down.If you got a reasonable knowledge of your city please contact me to create a volunteer network throughout UK.

If you can join hands with UUKMA please forward me an email with full contact details and area you live in. Help UUKMA to create a volunteer network across UK with your little help.
