About us
Malayalee families, looking out for each other since 2004
SMCA is a not-for-profit association, run by volunteers. We bring together Malayalee families from Yeovil, Sherborne, Wincanton and the villages around - to celebrate together, keep Malayalam going for our children, and look out for one another.

Our purpose
Our bylaw sets out a simple aim: to bring together Malayalee families in and around Yeovil, and to promote artistic, cultural and social life in our community - working within UK law, and alongside regional and local organisations.
For over twenty years that has meant festivals and family evenings, a stage for our dancers and musicians, sports teams, Malayalam classes for our children, and a friendly welcome for families who are new to the area.
What we do
How we're run
SMCA is run entirely by volunteers. An executive committee - President, Vice President, Secretary, Joint Secretary, Treasurer and executive members - leads the association, together with our UUKMA representatives. Members meet at least once a year at the General Body meeting.
Proud to be part of
SMCA is a member association of the Union of UK Malayalee Associations (UUKMA), and our teams take part in UUKMA regional events.
