Nepalese Association pays respects to Prince Philip


The Nepalese Association of Wiltshire organised a remembrance ceremony for the Duke of Edinburgh.
The event was held in Buckhurst Community Centre on Saturday – the day of Prince Philip's funeral – and was led by chair Gyan Prasad Gurung. 
Only a handful of members were able to attend the ceremony because of Covid-19 restrictions. 
A spokesperson for the association said: “Due to the royal family’s close tie with Gurkhas and the duke himself was appointed as Colonel of 7th Duke of Edinburgh’s Own Gurkha Rifles, it was important that Nepali community had organised the event to pay respect to HRH on the day of his funeral.”

Nepalese Association of Wiltshire feed homeless on Christmas Day


People with no home of their own were given a meal on Christmas Day thanks to the generosity of a community group in our town.  
The Nepalese Association of Wiltshire distributed free hot food and Christmas presents to 50 homeless people last Friday.
Members of the association handed out takeaway meals near the housing support shelter Culvery Court, with the help of Yak the Himalayan Kitchen which specializes in authentic Nepalese food.
The association has previously supported the Great Western Foundation NHS Trust, raising £10,000 for Brighter Futures following the initial outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in May.
 
Established in 2006 when many former Gurkha soldiers and their families were settling in the UK, the Nepalese Association of Wiltshire used to meet at Buckhurst Community Centre in park north before the lockdown restrictions came into force.
