GURKHA NEPALESE COMMUNITY DERBY
About Us
THE GURKHA NEPALESE COMMUNITY, DERBY is a non-profit making organization established in the UK on 1st January 2006 by a small group of retired GURKHA army personnel and their family who moved to Derby from Nepal under their resettlement right dated 24th October 2004. This group also included some other Derby resident of Nepalese origin who came for the purpose of work, study and settlement.
The community aims to promote culture, languages, education and overall welfare of marginal and backward community such as Nepalese community so that they can feel integrated in the British society. Since, the members of this association do have links in Nepal, it also aims to provide equipment and materials as well as the information, to the public institutions such as hospitals and schools in Nepal.
Cultural Promotion
Cultural Promotion
The Nepali diaspora in the UK has also had a substantial cultural impact, with an increasing number of British people taking an interest in Nepali culture, language, and cuisine. Events such as the annual Gurkha Cup, a football tournament that brings together Gurkha regiments from across the UK, and various Nepali cultural festivals, have become popular among both the Nepali community and the wider British public.
We organise events and activities that promote cultural awareness and education among the new generations. These initiatives create opportunities for families to engage in traditional practices together, reinforcing a sense of belonging.
Support on Diversity & Inclusion
Der Life Coach
The Gurkha Nepalese Community in Derby is a diverse and vibrant community that has made significant contributions to British society over the past two centuries. Despite facing unique challenges, the community has continued to grow and thrive, enriching the UK's cultural landscape and forging strong connections between Nepal and the UK. As the Nepali community continues to expand and integrate into British society, it will be essential to recognise and celebrate their valuable contributions and ensure that they have access to the resources and opportunities necessary for continued success.
