Bromley Temple and Cultural Association (aka BTCA, Bromley Temple Trust)
Our aim is to bring the Indian community in Bromley and wider Kent area together to preserve and promote our culture and faith and support hard-to-reach groups such as children/elderly, with the help of dedicated volunteers with community service ethos. There is no Hindu Mandir in Bromley and adjoining areas such as West Wi
ckham, Locksbottom, Petts-wood, Orpington, Sidcup and Mottingham etc, despite the fact that there are more than 5000 hindus in the locality but still there is nowhere in Bromley where hindus can visit for their spiritual needs. Therefore to establish a Hindu Mandir and Cultural Centre, keeping faith, culture and traditional values at the heart, BTCA started an initiative in 2012 with a few families and sincere heartfelt thanks for immense support from so many of you, this has now evolved into a registered charity called Bromley Temple Trust (Regd. Your overwhelming support at public consultation, to emphasise that our community needs a specific venue for faith and cultural activities, underlines the importance of this project.

(including things for events such as catering, decorations, hall setup, and cleaning up)
Please feel free to join a working group that suits your expertise and/or interests. It will involve a certain degree of commitment and being available to attend meetings that occur around once a month. If you can volunteer and assist, please email us at [email protected] stating your name and preference. Alternatively, if you would like to help out or contribute on a more ad-hoc basis, then that is also gratefully welcomed. We hope you will join us in making this ambition a reality for the benefit of our community and future generations.
