Henna Asian Women’s Group is a community based organisation that was set up almost 30 years ago by Asian women migrating from India, Pakistan and East Africa. We are based at the Abbey Community Centre where we offer a range of multi-lingual services and activities (Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali and Urdu). We encourage Asian women to participate in the various services we have on offer. Through this involvement ladies who may otherwise be socially isolated are given the opportunity to engage with like minded individuals with whom they may share certain customs, values and attributes.
Henna is a grass roots organisation and our service users have helped to set up, shape and develop the organisation. Our beneficiaries feel a sense of ownership in planning and have a very close relationship with Henna staff.
