Contribution to the Commonwealth and Gurkha Garden
On Sunday morning, 15th March, a wonderful group of Gurkhas and their wives gathered to celebrate a major milestone for the Commonwealth and Gurkha Garden.
During the event, a cheque was officially handed over representing the funds raised through Jit Ranabhat’s Mayoral Charities. Thanks to the incredible efforts of Shri Gurung and his Gurkha connections, the total reached an impressive £30,182.19.
The generosity didn't stop there—one attendee even pledged an additional £500 on the spot! These donations far exceeded expectations, and the Trustees are deeply grateful.
The funds are now securely ring-fenced, and with all necessary planning reports submitted, we hope to begin work on the ground as soon as permission is granted. It was a joyful occasion attended by Council Leader Anthony Okereke and former Leader Denise Hyland. Guests enjoyed traditional Nepali Rosti, provided by the 7 Sisters, and tea and biscuits, organised by WGCT volunteer Jane Bonwick.
