Who We Are — Anjana Samaj UK

---

Anjana Samaj UK is a community-led, non-profit organisation established by families of the Anjana Chaudhary community from Gujarat, India, now living across the United Kingdom.

We exist to keep our culture alive, strengthen family bonds, and support one another as we grow in a new country.

Our community brings together people of all ages—children, young adults, parents, and seniors—to celebrate traditions, participate in cultural activities, and create a strong support network where everyone feels they belong.

We are powered entirely by volunteers and guided by the values of unity, culture, seva (service), and progress.

Our mission is to preserve our cultural roots, build a thriving community, and create opportunities for future generations.

We aim to:

• Keep our Gujarati and Anjana traditions strong through events and celebrations
   
• Provide social, cultural, and educational activities for families
   
• Create a welcoming environment for newcomers settling in the UK
   
• Support community members in times of need
   
• Build long-term assets such as a dedicated community centre for gatherings, youth programmes, and cultural functions

• Social Gatherings : Regular meet-ups, picnics, networking events, and family activities that help our members stay connected.
• Cultural & Religious Celebrations : Navratri, Diwali, Holi, Uttarayan, and other traditional festivals that keep our cultural heritage alive for younger generations.
• Youth & Education Support : Workshops, mentoring, language learning, cultural education, and youth engagement programmes.
• Cultural Arts & Talent Promotion : Dance, music, drama, traditional art forms, and platforms for children and adults to showcase talent.
• Charitable & Community Support : Helping families in times of difficulty, supporting welfare initiatives, and contributing to wider UK-based charity efforts.
• Future Community Centre Project : We aim to raise funds to purchase and maintain a dedicated community venue—a space for events, classes, meetings, and celebrations.
