Throughout the reporting period, due to COVID; the rented premises at 18 Byron Road, Wealdstone, Harrow, HA3 7ST was only used twice (one AGM and one trustee meeting) and there were no other activities. We continued our trustee meetings remotely via zoom etc and conducted two communal events. Our dream of owning a permanent place of worship was finally achieved with the overwhelming support from our trustees & members. On 17[th] Dec’2021 we competed the purchase of our current rented site 18 Byron Road, Wealdstone, Harrow, HA3 7ST & became the owner of the same property.

Community Activities

The statue of Swami Vivekananda has been installed in front of the Dance Studio at the Harrow Arts Centre on 28[th] July’2021. It was unveiled by Hon. Mayor of Harrow Council in presence of other dignitaries. This was a dream project of our Late Treasurer Mr. Mrinal Choudhury; funded and supported by Indian diaspora’s in UK & India. Kalipujo was conducted on 4[th] November 2021 by London Kalibari at Harrow Arts Centre, 171 Uxbridge Rd, Pinner HA5 4EA.

Future

After we became the owner of the property, we experienced some heavy leakages from upstairs property. After discussing with the members & trustees; we decided to complete the refurbishment (fix the leakages & other repair works) before we open the premises to the public. We aim to open the Kalibari for general public use by April’2023 & looking forward to organise our where regular religious ceremonies, luncheon club, meetings & other communal activities as we uses to do pre-pandemic days.
