About Us

Henna Asian Women’s Group is a community based organisation that was set up over 25 years ago by Asian women migrating from India, Pakistan and East Africa. We are based at the Abbey Community Centre where we offer a range of multi-lingual services and activities (Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati and Urdu).

 

We encourage Asian women to participate in the various services we have on offer. Through this involvement ladies who may otherwise be socially isolated are given the opportunity to engage with like minded individuals with whom they may share certain customs, values and attributes.  Over time the group has built a strong communication network, where they have developed friendships with one another and respect for each other’s differences.

 

We hope to expand this service to bring in more South Asian women of all ages groups and backgrounds. We have added health to our programme of activities with the goal of raising awareness and increasing physical and mental well being of this client group.  The majority of our services are free with a few that are highly subsidised.

 

We hope to continue to attract new members who are coming from abroad, and those that feel isolated and want a place to meet new people. We aim to meet the present and changing needs of this community.

We offer a range of services and activities in Bengali, Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi and Urdu to support our members.
