Our Story
The Sutton Coldfield Hindu Association (SHA) was established in 2009 with a mission to promote Hindu culture, traditions, and values within our local community. What began as a small group of families coming together to celebrate festivals has grown into a vibrant organization serving hundreds of families in the West Midlands.
Over the years, we have organized numerous cultural events, religious ceremonies, educational programs, and community service initiatives. We believe in preserving our rich heritage while embracing the diversity and inclusivity of modern Britain.
