About Us

Learn about our history, values, and the people who make our community thrive.

Our Story

Shree Kutchi Leva Patel Cardiff Samaj was established in 1998 by a group of dedicated community members who wanted to preserve their cultural roots while building a new home in Wales.

Over the past 25+ years, we have grown from a small gathering of families to a vibrant community of over 500 members, organising dozens of events each year and providing support to our community members.

Today, we continue to celebrate our traditions, support one another, and welcome new members into our extended family.
