Can I join?
Welcome home. You can join the Association. Register online, then come to a general meeting to meet everyone.
You are part of the family. Families of Wakirike indigenes are welcome. Register with your family member, or ask us how it works.
We would still love to hear from you. Membership is for people living in Great Britain or Ireland, but our sister associations and the people at home are only a message away.
Friends are always welcome. Membership is for Wakirike people by birth or marriage, but you are welcome to visit a meeting or support our community and charity work.
