About FPU-UK&I

The Fullah Progressive Union UK & Ireland (FPU-UK&I) is a community‑led organisation established to unite, empower and uplift descendants of the Fullah people residing across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Rooted in shared heritage and a commitment to collective progress, the Union exists to strengthen community bonds while contributing meaningfully to development efforts both in the diaspora and back home in Sierra Leone.

We aim to empower our members, preserve our cultural identity and contribute to meaningful development in Sierra Leone. As our constitution states, we strive “to harness the latent desire of the membership and turn it into implementable project activities.”
