The man behind a local ethnic Indian organisation, formed to help develop relationships between communities in Northern Ireland, says it was the friendliness of the local people that helped him build a new life here.
ImageNation NI was established in 2010 to bring the Indian community together and its founder Sanjay Ghosh was able to identify the needs of the growing Indian community. He started the voluntary organisation to keep his home country’s culture and heritage alive.
Since then the Belfast-based Indian voluntary group has organised many multi-cultural events and worked alongside leading organisations including Belfast City Council and Arts Council Northern Ireland.
The committee behind ImageNation NI has adopted the vision to have an inclusive Indian community integrated in Northern Ireland in order to build a bridge between diverse Indian communities and the wider NI community through good relations.
