The Bengali Worker's Association seeks to improve the quality of life of the Bangladeshi community, and other BME communities by encouraging their active participation in society.
The Association was established in 1976 and has grown to become a large community-led voluntary organisation in Camden serving over 5000 residents from different backgrounds. Since 1990 the Association has been based in the Surma Community Centre, a focal point of the Bangladeshi community and venue for a wide range of social, cultural and religious events.
