Bhartiya Samaj Lower North Island

Bhartiya Samaj Lower North Island Bhartiya Samaj Lower North Island Trust is part of Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust which is a Not for Profit organisation serving the community since 1995.

The organisation's goals are in line with values of Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust, Auckland - to keep the rich Indian cultural heritage alive, foster connections, provide advocacy for settlement & support, and promote social cohesion. We offer a wide range of services through our Senior Citizens Wing, Children & Youth Wing, New Migrants Support Wing and Social Services Wing. We work responsibly

to ensure people of the community are benefited by fostering healthy relations among all members and catering to the social, cultural and emotional needs of these groups especially young children, who hold the future for a better tomorrow. We achieve them with continuous meetings and programs for a better reach among masses. Benefits to the Community

Sense of social inclusion and confidence

Building connected and confident communities

Supporting volunteerism

Mutual Support and companionship

Community well being and cultural Identity

Enhancing the quality of life of older people in the community

Help the elderly to have best possible life in their own cultural environment

​Kiwi English speaking classes for Seniors

Assist newcomers in seeking jobs, reduce barriers to settlement, networking and building relationships

Early Years and Youth Development

Hindi language skills for children

Overall personality development

Better understanding of cultural values so the Children remain grounded to their cultural roots and have stronger family bonds

The playgroup encourages the children to develop their social skills, emotional confidence and prepare them to be independent at an early age

For the parents attending the playgroup, it is a great platform for the mothers to socially integrate with each other thereby improving their social lives through the development of new relationships

These services are delivered with assistance from Members of Executive Committee of Bhartiya Samaj and Volunteers from the Community. We also work in co-operation with other Community Welfare organisations which are operating Auckland region. Our services are available free to the South Asian community irrespective of their language, religion, region and social status.

Stronger Together: Hastings – Ethnic Communities Safety Forum
was a powerful reminder of what community truly means—people from all walks of life coming together, sharing stories, listening with care, and standing side by side.

It was more than just a forum, it was a moment of connection, where safety, wellbeing, and unity were felt through genuine conversations and a shared commitment to looking out for one another.

Let’s pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all those who have served our country.

We reflect on the legacy of the ANZACs - their resilience and their unwavering commitment in the face of adversity. Their spirit continues to shape who we are as a community today.

As a community, we stand together in remembrance.

Lest we forget 🌺 🌺

Grateful to celebrate Vaisakhi Festival 2026 with an incredible community full of energy and spirit.
