Welcome to Sudanna
Your Sudanese digital hub in the UK & beyond.
Whatever brought you here — cheering on a local team, catching up on community news, finding a trusted tradesperson, or just seeing what's on this weekend — Sudanna brings it all together in one place, built for Sudanese people across the UK.
What is Sudanna
One home for a community spread across a whole country
The Sudanese community in the UK is large, active, and completely scattered across it — a football club in one city, a tailor in another, a news story that matters to everyone but reaches almost no one. Before Sudanna, staying connected meant a dozen different WhatsApp groups, Facebook pages, and word of mouth, with no single place to actually find any of it.
Sudanna puts it all under one roof: sport, social life, buying and selling, professional services, jobs, and community news — in English and Arabic, built specifically for how this community actually organises itself, not adapted from a platform designed for somewhere else.
The platform
Eight sections, one community
Every section is free to browse without an account. Real content, real categories — this is what's actually in Sudanna today, not a wishlist.
Sudanese Bodies
Associations, charities, schools, embassies, clubs
Associations, charities, schools, embassies and community groups, in one directory.

Football, Cricket, Boxing, Athletics, and 12 more
Tournaments, clubs, and results from the Sudanese community in the UK.
Social Events
Weddings, Bazaars, Concerts, Fundraisers
Concerts, bazaars, and gatherings — find out what's on near you.
Market Place
Food & Drinks, Fashion, Home & Furniture
Buy and sell food, fashion, and more within the community.
Services Hub
Health, Legal, Home Repairs, Beauty, Translation
Find trusted health, legal, care, academic, and other services.
Jobs
Full-time, Part-time, Volunteer, Remote
Browse job listings or post a vacancy — free for job seekers.
News
Community news, Obituaries
Community news and obituaries, reviewed before publishing.
Forum & sponsors
Ask the community a question, propose an initiative and let people vote and comment on it, or see who's backing this month's community events on the public sponsor leaderboard.
A look inside
The real thing, not a mock-up
Screens from the live platform. The user guide walks through each one step by step.
Who it's for
One account. As many roles as you need.
Sudanna doesn't force you to pick a lane. A translator can also sell furniture and follow their local football club — all from the same account.
Everyone
Standard User
The default account, and it's free forever. Browse every section without even signing up — sports results, events, listings, services, jobs, and news are all open. Create an account to buy tickets, message a seller, save searches, or follow the people you trust.
Sellers & traders
Market Place User
List anything from homemade food to a second-hand sofa. Free and paid listing tiers let a casual seller and a regular trader both find their footing, with Featured and Promoted upgrades for extra visibility when it matters.
Tradespeople
Service Provider
Health, legal, care, academic, home repairs, beauty, catering, IT support, translation — if the community already recommends you by word of mouth, Sudanna gives you a real profile, verified-badge trust, and a review history that follows you across every listing you post.
Organisers
Events Organiser
Run a free community gathering with free ticketing for good, or sell tickets to a full concert and pay nothing until you sell — Sudanna keeps a small share of each ticket sold. Stripe-backed ticketing, QR-code entry scanning and a guest list export are all built in, with organiser payouts tracked against a clear turnaround SLA.
Associations & groups
Sudanese Body
Register your association, charity, school, community group or club and get a public page with a badge, your logo and cover photo and everything people need to know. A short check by the Sudanna team, a conversation with them if they need more information, then members, announcements, members-only events and tasks are yours to run. The details are entered by you: Sudanna does not endorse or take responsibility for them.
Employers & job seekers
Employer / Job Seeker
Post a vacancy, or build a profile once and apply with your CV across every posting. Browsing and applying is free for job seekers, always — Sudanna only ever charges the employer side.
Community writers
Publisher
Submit community news or an obituary notice in English and/or Arabic. Every submission is reviewed before it goes live, so the News section stays something people can trust.
Why Sudanna
Built like a community platform, not an ad platform
Every feature below is live in the product today — not on a roadmap.
Genuinely bilingual
Not translated strings bolted onto an English layout — a fully mirrored right-to-left Arabic experience, remembered as your preference from the first page you visit.
Verified badges
The Sudanna team can verify real, trustworthy sellers, providers, and organisers — a badge you can't buy your way into.
Fair reviews
A star rating only shows once someone has 5 or more genuine reviews — so one early rating can never make or break a new provider's page.
Follow, don't miss
Follow a favourite seller, provider, or organiser and hear about their next listing or event the moment it's posted.
Referral rewards
Invite someone to Sudanna, and once they make their first paid listing or ticket purchase, you earn real account credit toward your own.
Add straight to your calendar
Every event page can drop straight into your phone or desktop calendar app — no screenshotting a poster and hoping you remember.
Saved searches
Save a search in Jobs, Market Place, or Services Hub, and get emailed the moment something matching it appears.
Self-service refunds
Change of plans? Refund your own ticket up to 7 days before an event, instantly, with no email to send.
Made simple
Longer forms are short steps with a progress bar, a calendar and a clock instead of typed dates (on any keyboard, Arabic included), photo previews, and a draft that saves as you type.
Promote by the day
Keep your service listing free for life and lift it to the top for exactly the days you choose: slide the days or give a budget and see the total before you pay.
In your pocket
The iPhone and Android apps do what the website does, in English and Arabic: tickets with QR codes, events and the door scanner, registering a body, running a club.
Links that look right
Share a page and the preview shows its own photo, logo or cover, in the language you use, in WhatsApp, Facebook, X and messages.
See it in both languages
The same platform, mirrored — not translated after the fact
Arabic isn't a secondary mode bolted onto an English product. Layout, navigation, and type all flip to a genuine right-to-left reading experience.

Trust & safety
A community platform needs community-grade trust
-
Reviewed before it's public. Every News submission, paid listing, Sudanese body and sports club across Market Place, Services Hub, Jobs, Social Events, Sports and Bodies goes through a review before it goes live; bodies are recognised after a document check.
-
Report and block, in one tap. Any listing, forum post, review, or user can be reported straight to the moderation team; blocking someone in messages is instant and mutual.
-
No data-selling, and tracking only if you say yes. We never sell your data. Advertising and measurement cookies (Google's) are used only if you choose Accept on the cookie banner — otherwise what you browse stays between you and the platform.
-
Guest checkout, real security. Buying a ticket doesn't require an account — card payments are processed by Stripe, never stored on Sudanna's own servers.
Your community, in one place
Free to browse, free to sign up, free for job seekers — always. See what your community's been posting since you last checked.
