Connecting People ... Building Communities

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.

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 or sell tickets to a full concert — Stripe-backed ticketing, QR-code entry scanning, and a guest list export are all built in, with automatic organiser payouts tracked against a clear turnaround SLA.

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.

Roles stack. Selling in the Market Place doesn't stop you applying for jobs or organising an event — every role above is additive to the same free account, not a separate sign-up.

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.

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 and paid listing across Market Place, Services Hub, Jobs, Social Events, and Sports goes through an admin review queue before it goes live.

  • 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 ad-tracking, no data-selling. Sudanna doesn't run marketing, advertising, or third-party analytics cookies — 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.
