The Diaspora

The Guyana High Commission is dedicated to fostering a strong and meaningful connection with the vibrant and diverse Guyanese community in the United Kingdom. Our aim is to bridge the gap, build partnerships, and create a sense of belonging among the members of our Diaspora.

Over the years, the High Commission has successfully achieved this through hosting and facilitating events, outreaches, and information sharing. We invite you to explore our consular services and events section for detailed information on our interaction with the Diaspora.

As we continue to strengthen our ties, we encourage you  actively participate in the cultural and social activities that contribute to the rich Guyanese heritage in the UK. If you're interested in attending or participating in Diaspora events, please complete the form using the link below.
