Established on 8th March 1983, the Council of Turkish Cypriot Associations UK (CTCA UK), also known in Turkish as Konsey, stands as the largest democratically elected umbrella organization representing the vibrant, resilient, and culturally rich Turkish Cypriot community in Britain.

For over four decades, CTCA UK has been more than just an institution, it has been a powerful movement built on unity, heritage, and hope. From organising landmark cultural events to advocating for the rights and recognition of Turkish Cypriots across civic, political, and social spheres, our mission has always been to amplify the voice of our people and preserve the values that make our community unique.

In 2017, we proudly marked a historic milestone, the centenary of the Turkish Cypriot presence in the United Kingdom. This celebration was more than a date; it was a testament to the enduring contributions of our community, now estimated to be over 300,000 strong. From the first immigrants who built new lives here to the new generations shaping British society today, Turkish Cypriots have enriched the cultural and social fabric of the UK.

Today, CTCA UK continues to unite individuals and organisations across the country, working collaboratively with over 30 member groups to safeguard our language, traditions, and identity, while creating new opportunities for youth engagement, civic leadership, and cultural celebration.
