London Arabia Organisation was founded with a mission to strengthen the cultural and business ties between the UK and Arab world, while empowering women everywhere. We promote Arab culture across the UK and facilitate meaningful bonds built on mutual understanding, appreciation, and respect of one another.

Our major initiatives are the Arab Women of the Year Awards, London Arabia Art & Fashion Week, Trust Me, I’m an Arab Cultural Awareness Training, and Wo.Men Private Membership Club. We work to make these, and all our projects, a conduit for organisations, charities, government bodies, institutions, and individuals to come together in support of cultural mixing, bridging the gap between the UK and Arab world, and empowering women regardless of their background or chosen field.

We pride ourselves on providing a platform to shine a light on women that may otherwise be overlooked and recognising their contributions to society and culture.
