About the Raghuvanshi Association
We are a UK based Registered charity; Registered in 1986 number 295630. We are a Company Limited by Guarantee (No. 2055369) and are fully compliant with the requirements of the Charities Commission.
Our objective is to provide education of Hindu values, culture and religion, and provide facilities in the interest of recreation and social welfare. This is without distinction of sex, religion, race, political or other opinions. Join us in fostering inter-faith understanding and social welfare.
Our operational organisation is Lohana Community South London (LCSL) which was formed as a not-for-profit community organisation in 1974, and our aim is to help our member families and our elderly specifically. We have some 400 families as members in Croydon and the surrounding areas.
We have had our own Community Centre since September 2014 in East Croydon on Church Road, corner of Lower Coombe Street, Croydon, CR0 1SH from where we host all our key activities.
