## Milton Keynes Hindu Association **To Preserve & Promote Hindu Culture** Ferry Meadows Close Milton Keynes **All donations welcome** MK10 9QY **Tel:** 0300 365 1008 **Lloyds Bank: MKHA sort code: 30 15 53, account no: 00118570** e-mail: info@mkha.org secretary@mkha.org ## **Trustees Annual Report 2021** Notwithstanding the ongoing covid-19 lockdown during the earlier months of the year and the restrictions which continued, MKHA managed to fulfil its obligations to the Hindu Community and the wider community of Milton Keynes. We celebrated the second anniversary of the inauguration of the Community centre and temple area online. We were joined in the virtual celebrations by, amongst others, HM Deputy Lord Lieutenants', the Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police, various leaders of the local Interfaith community and of course members of the Hindu community. MKHA continued its covid -19 vulnerable persons support programme. For the large part of the year most of our Cultural programmes, language and dance classes continued online, supporting our members of all ages - from the virtual Monday and Saturday religious and cultural offering which bought the generations together, to the classes for the youth which continued to 'Preserve and Promote Hindu Culture' MKHA were invited to participate in the MK Bi-annual International Festival hosted by the Internationally renowned Stables theatre and Milton Keynes Council. Members participated in memorable dance performances which were very well received, with excellent audience participation. Also, as part of the Festival MKHA played a major part in an Art Project which highlighted our involvement with the wider community of MK and our cultural cohesion with all the communities of MK. Inevitably, due to the pandemic restrictions we were not able to hold large events or engage in fundraising activities. Nonetheless, due to the virtual celebrations and some in person events we were able to safely host during the summer months, we received donations from members and well-wishers which have helped with the running costs of the centre. Fundraising for the second phase has not been enabled with the worrying concern that build costs will be increasing with each year the project is stalled We continued to engage with a number of local social, arts and heritage, cultural and health groups within MK, together with MK Council and local educational institutions. Our social media profile was further enhanced of late due to the successful launch of our new website adding to our popular Facebook and WhatsApp reach. MKHA played and continue to date, a major part as volunteers in the covid-19 vaccine rollout and booster programmes to support the MK wide community. Following our recent AGM, we continue to benefit from a stable, enthusiastic, and committed Executive committee who will carry on the good works of previous committees in delivering the aims of MKHA as set out in our Constitution and going beyond.
