Oadby & Wigston Hindu Community (OWHC)
3 Positions Available | Oadby & Wigston, Leicestershire
Are you looking to make a meaningful difference in your community? Do you bring valuable skills and a proactive, “can-do” attitude grounded in the principle of sewa (selfless service)?
Oadby & Wigston Hindu Community (OWHC) is seeking three committed and capable individuals to join our Board of Trustees.
About Us
OWHC is a growing, community-focused charity dedicated to promoting Hindu values, cultural heritage, education, and community cohesion. Our work is rooted in sewa — giving time, skills, and effort for the benefit of others.

- Have a positive, proactive, and solution-focused mindset
- Are willing to roll up their sleeves and support where needed
- Can commit time and energy to help drive the organisation forward
Previous trustee experience is not essential — the right attitude and commitment are key.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Contributing to the strategic direction and growth of OWHC
- Ensuring strong governance and compliance
- Supporting financial sustainability and responsible decision-making
