Temple appeal

Earlier this month, I wrote an article about the Hindu Temple Project, which is aiming to raise money to acquire a building to turn into Oxford's first Hindu temple and community centre. Gyan Gopal, Chairman, Oxford Hindu Temple & Community Centre Project Executive Committee, told me that the first aim is to be established as a charity and raise awareness of the lack of a temple in the area which means Hindus in Oxford have to travel as far as London, Birmingham or Slough.

So far the project has generated £60,000 in under three years from activities such as Holi events, Summer Mela and Diwali dinner dances. However, they have not raised as much money as they had hoped and are urging others to donate to the fund.
