Ganden Centre offers many wonderful things to the people of Calderdale and surrounding areas, but we are only able to do this through the kindness of volunteers. As a Buddhist community this Centre was created by kindness and is maintained by that kindness!
Volunteering at Ganden Centre not only helps us but it also brings many benefits for you as well. Everything you do to help Ganden Centre is dedicated to the benefit of all living beings – so you get such a lot of blessings from helping out, no matter how small your actions seem!
Join in a Centre Cherishing event
Next one is Sat 22nd January 10:30am – 1:00pm (with lunch)
All are welcome to this volunteer morning when we fix, tidy, sort and clean things.
Centre Cherishing is a great way to support Ganden Kadampa Buddhist Centre and to get to know the community. Refreshments are provided.
