Welcome to KIRAN

KIRAN, the Knowledge-based Intercommunity Relationship and Awareness Network, is a non-profit, apolitical and secular community organisation based in the UK. We aim to promote wellbeing in local communities. So, we run our wellbeing projects on a regular and consistent basis.

Where do KIRAN work?
We primarily work for the people living in Cardiff. In addition, we also organise events and workshops which involves people from further afield, e.g., Swansea, Bristol, Newport, Cwmbran, Swindon, Gloucester, Leicester and London.

How do we promote wellbeing in local communities?
We aim to promote wellbeing in local communities by upholding social diversity and community inclusion. Moreover, by engaging local people through art, culture and heritage, we encourage openness, tolerance and equality in our local communities. In conclusion, we listen to people from all walks of life on a continuously and align our course of action to meet the needs of people and communities. We are proud to have received funding from the National Lottery Community Fund Wales.

What do we do to promote wellbeing in local communities?

We organise many events, workshops and programmes regularly. As a result, local people get opportunities to participate actively through art, culture and heritage. For instance, we organise literary meet, cultural programmes and community get-together regularly. We hold many of our activities in Kings Monkton School, 6 West Grove, Cardiff, CF24 3XL and St John’s Church, 8 Rachel Close, Cardiff, CF5 2SH. Besides, we also collaborate with other community groups in the UK, India and Europe. For instance, we work with a cultural group based in the Netherlands, called Majlish.
