India Association

The India Association was founded over 25 years ago and was registered as a UK charity in 2002. Our mission is to ‘provide relief from poverty, sickness and distress to those in need, in the UK and abroad’ and we do this by supporting other charities and causes across the globe. Since 2001 the charity has donated over £300,000 to the causes and or work never stops. The India Association committee is made up of some 300 professional businessmen and women from all walks of life, who use their expertise and contacts to help raise awareness and funds for other charitable organisations. Members do not receive a salary for their India Association Work, so every penny raised goes to charity, (minus minimal expenses for stationery, printing and postage). Due to our minimal overheads, we have one of the highest conversion rates for donations than any other UK charity ... a fact we a very proud of. Our latest initiative is ‘Bobby’s Walk Full Circle’. A 2,600 mile charity trek across India starting in late October 2015, that will see India Association Chairman Bobby Grewal, walk from Kanyakumari (on the Southern tip of India) up the east coast, via Chennai and Kolkata to Delhi, where he is due to finish the walk in late March 2016. The amazing point to note is that Bobby completed his 2,556 mile India west coast walk in 2005 Bobby will embark on the five-month walk with the aim of raising £1.5 million. All money raised will be distributed Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity and the British Asian Trust in the UK. Money raised in India will be donated to the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund and other identified charities in the seven states Bobby will be walking through. Feel free to visit our website and donate towards the many causes we support. Thank you.
