The GHS acts as a hub for the local community , providing a place of prayer, education and recreation. It is a place where people of all ages can gather to socialise, to share their news and to celebrate special occasions.
The centre's open-door policy means that it also acts as a showcase for the Hindu way of life, enabling individuals from all walks of life to visit and to gain a greater understanding of the culture. As a result, it provides an environment in which people can share ideas, build new relationships and break down the barriers that sometimes separate different communities.
Through its wholly owned business, GHS Enterprise, the Gujarat Hindu Society also engages with the business community and local authorities by providing a venue for meetings and conferences. Its facilities are always popular and they provide another opportunity for communication and engagement.
GHS also plays a vital role in building bridges between minority ethnic groups and the region's healthcare professionals - thus helping to promote good physical and mental health within the local community.
