WATFORD NEPALESE COMMUNITY
Welcome to
Watford Nepalese Community
Nepalese immigrants have settled in various parts of the United Kingdom, contributing their distinct culture, and customs to the local fabric. Similarly, British Nepalese who had been living in Watford, Hertfordshire since 1997 established the organization called 'Nepalese Community Watford, UK (NCWUK) in 2012. The Nepalese community in Watford, like in many other parts of the UK, is a vibrant and close-knit group.
The primary goal of this organization is to promote and preserve Nepalese culture, traditions, language, and heritage within the community and exchange its legacy with the wider population in Watford. Additionally, this organization actively seeks to promote networks to support its community members, celebrate events and festivals to foster sense of unity among community members, organize fundraising events and charitable programs on a need-basis, organize health awareness campaign for its members and represent the interests of the Nepalese community to local authorities. Last but not the least, engaging and educating younger generation about Nepalese language and traditions and enabling them to be a leader for integrating our cultural legacy to broader Watford community is centre aim of this organization.
Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a measurable difference in our community.

Our objective is to commemorate and celebrate the essence of British identity. A significant proportion of our membership, notably our founders, has a background in the British military.
