WE SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH INTEGRITY AND RESPECT
Our History
Our foundation goes back to the early 1970s following the migration of the Assamese diaspora in the 1960s and 1970s. It started with a small group of migrant Assamese who arrived before and after the 70s’. Over the past 50+ years, it has continued to grow and change. With 90+ registered members, this is one of the largest Assamese associations in the UK.
