Peterborough Nisa Local donates over £600 to Bharat Hindu Samaj Mandir temple

Bharat Hindu Samaj Mandir in Peterborough has received a donation of £611.26 from Nisa Local on Mountsteven Avenue, operated by Billy Maher

The funds were awarded through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) initiative and will be used to support the temple’s extensive community outreach programs.

The Bharat Hindu Samaj Mandir plays a crucial role in the local community, providing food for homeless individuals in Peterborough, organising everyday activities for elderly members, and supporting local food banks.

Additionally, the temple promotes health and well-being through keep-fit sessions and health checks while extending support to refugees and NHS members.

Established in 1973, Bharat Hindu Samaj has a rich history of fostering cultural and religious harmony, welcoming members from diverse backgrounds, including Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Nepali, and Bengali communities. Beyond local aid, the temple has also provided donations for disaster relief efforts both in the UK and internationally.

Billy expressed his pride in supporting the cause: “It’s an honour to contribute through Nisa’s MADL initiative, and I’m delighted that this funding will help sustain invaluable services.”
