The North East Gujarati Association is primarily made up of people who originate from the Gujarati although membership is made up of a cross - section of communities residing in the Northern Region.

The main purpose of the Association is to organise religious, cultural and sociable events to celebrate the rich culture and traditions of the Hindus in the North East of England.The Festivals that we celebrated in the North East are Holi, Navratri, Diwali. There is an emphasis in encouraging the involvement of children and young people in celebrating the culture, for they are the leaders of tomorrow. In April, the Association elects its executive Committee which runs for a term of two years. It is particularly encouraging to note that over the past few years the Committee has been mainly made up of young people who are taking a lead and this years is no exception.
