Somalis form one of the largest African communities in Britain, and the UK is home to the biggest Somali population in Europe. The 2021 census recorded around 177,000 people of Somali ethnicity in England and Wales, with London the main centre and sizeable communities in Bristol, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, Sheffield and Cardiff. Many families first arrived as refugees in the 1990s. The Somali work runs the full range: asylum and immigration-tribunal documents and statements for Home Office and UKVI cases, civil certificates and school records, and a great deal of interpreting at NHS, council, school and court appointments, since Somali is far more often spoken than written. Around 24 million people speak Somali across the Horn of Africa.
