50 Years of LCNL · 1976–2026

100 Donors, One Lasting Legacy

Help us make the Dhamecha Lohana Centre debt-free

£500 pledge Matched £500 by LCNL Target 1 Dec 2026

Help us make the Dhamecha Lohana Centre debt-free!

As we celebrate 50 wonderful years of LCNL, we have a very special opportunity to achieve something truly meaningful for our community.

The Dhamecha Lohana Centre – our home, our community, our legacy – is owned by LCNL through the Lohana Charitable Foundation (LCF). Over the years, it has been a place where we have come together to celebrate, connect, create memories and strengthen the bonds of our community.

Today, we have just £100,000 remaining on the loan for our Centre, on which we continue to pay interest. What better way to mark our 50th anniversary than to clear this outstanding loan and secure a debt-free future for our community home?

Your donation £500

LCNL’s contribution £500

Towards the loan £1,000

100 donors × £1,000 = £100,000 — loan cleared!

Your name. Our history.

To thank everyone who helps us reach this milestone, we will install a commemorative plaque at the Dhamecha Lohana Centre displaying the names of all 100 donors once the loan has been repaid.

Gift Aid makes it go further
