She has worked with charities as a young cultural practitioner, and held various roles from 2013-2019 at National Hindu Students’ Forum (UK), the largest Hindu student organisation outside of India.
Our new Board members join the D6 team and existing Board in celebrating the good news that D6 has received funding as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF) to help face the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and to ensure the continuation of our current programme, There is Beauty in this Journey.
