Local Community
Life for Cambridge University students provides many great challenges, not least of all living away from home. For the Hindu students, the existence of ICCA helps them feel very much part of the local community.
The Indian Community and Culture Association (Cambridge), ICCA, is a registered charity which promotes Indian culture within Cambridge by hosting a varied programme of social, cultural, educational and religious events throughout the year for the benefit of all the inhabitants of Cambridge.
The ICCA has supported CUHCS ever since our creation in 1991. We would like to thank them for their assistance, advice and endless enthusiasm in helping us make Cambridge a better place to live for Hindu Students.
The vast majority of ICCA events take place at 'Bharat Bhavan' on Mill Road. It is a 15 minute walk from town centre and can be reached easily by walking south along Mill Road (adjacent to Kelsey Kerridge) and turning left immediately before the railway bridge.
The ICCA has places for students who would like to learn sitar, tabla and harmonium(planned). They also offer a membership scheme for a group of four who can pay £20.00 per month. This will give all four persons access to four Zumba lessons, and four Salsa lessons per month. Additional activities will be added to the membership in the near future.
