Who We Are

The voice of the Sri Lankan community in the UK

APISRILANKAN was created to give the Sri Lankan diaspora in the United Kingdom a single, trusted home on the internet. Whether you arrived last year or have lived here for decades, we believe every member of our community deserves to stay informed, stay connected, and feel at home.

We cover the stories that matter to you — from community milestones and cultural celebrations to breaking news from Sri Lanka and opportunities right on your doorstep. Our platform is available as a website and as a free native app on iOS and Android, so you are always just a tap away from your community.
