Who we are?

T

he Malayali community in the Newcastle region began as a small, informal group nearly half a decade ago. We gathered during Onam and Christmas to celebrate and cherish the rich memories of our home state, Kerala. Over time, this group has grown and reached several significant milestones.

In 2012, we proudly adopted the name “Humsam,” a beautiful abbreviation of Hunter Malayali Samajam, and registered as an incorporated, not-for-profit association with the NSW Department of Fair Trading.

Our Community: Today, Humsam boasts over 700 members and continues to expand each year. Our main aim is to promote and encourage the development of the Malayali community within the Hunter area, fostering connections to our roots while engaging with the wider community in NSW.

Activities and Programs: Humsam regularly conducts a variety of activities, including:

  • Cultural Programs: Experience the vibrant traditions of Kerala through music, dance, and festivals, celebrating important cultural milestones and fostering appreciation of our heritage.
  • Social Networking Events: Join us for gatherings that encourage camaraderie and networking among members, creating opportunities for friendship and shared experiences.
  • Sports Activities: In collaboration with sports club, Newcastle Hunters, we organize various sports activities that promote an active lifestyle and encourage friendly competition. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking to have fun, there’s something for everyone!

Humanitarian Efforts: Humsam also endeavors to undertake humanitarian activities that benefit the local community. We engage in fundraising efforts to support important causes, aiming to alleviate financial burdens without regard to nationality, religion, or belief.

Get Involved: We encourage all Malayalis living in the Newcastle and Greater Hunter regions to join Humsam. By becoming a member, you can network with and support fellow members while contributing to a united community.
