Last year this time #UKGambia was preparing for a protest which took place on 20th February 2016. This day is a special day which all Gambians can finally celebrate for the right reasons. UKGambia released a press release in January 2017 alerting the general public of its intention to restructure from a movement into an organisation led by an executive.
We are following up by humbly requesting for interested volunteers who wish to know more about the organisation or join the Executive to please email the interim Secretary – [email protected]. Alternatively, you may contact any member of UKGambia.
Join us for the event of the year, this is one event you can’t afford to miss.
This event is proudly sponsored by Gambians Abroad Financial Services, Approved Services, and Yayeh Financial Services.
