Additionally Queen Mary Somali Society intends to enhance and advocate increased intercultural dialogue between Somalis and individuals from other nationalities and ethnicities.
The society is committed to celebrating Somali cultural customs by organising functions, events and meeting that promote and foster an appreciation of these themes and to make members and non-members familiar with these customs. To achieve these goals the society holds regular meetings and discussion forums.
