Sinhalese Cultural Centre JanaShakthi Contribution Scheme

The Sinhalese Cultural Centre is the Community Hub initiative for all of us in Sydney, initiated by the Sinhalese Cultural Forum of NSW with the excellent support from the wider Sinhalese community in Sydney for the benefit of all communities in our multi-cultural society. It will be an excellent facilitator of cultural and social needs of our community, for generations to come.

The Sinhalese Cultural Centre (SCC) is established in Seven Hills (28 Cacia Av, Seven Hills) with the excellent support of the community. The SCC plays a pivotal role in promoting our heritage by providing a community facility for various  cultural activities, social gatherings, group meetings, dancing practices and educational programs.

“JanaShakthi” is the public fund constitutionally created to provide you with the opportunity to be part of this community initiative for our future generations to one day hail you with utmost gratitude. JanaShakthi was pivotal to acquire the property in Seven Hills in October 2020. Further, it will be primary to sustain, pay-off the mortgage and further develop the Sinhalese Cultural Centre.

Firstly, Your JanaShakthi Contributions will be used for the sustainment of the Sinhalese Cultural Centre. This includes monthly mortgage payment, utility bills (rates, electricity, water and other services) and other maintenance work. Currently, the sustainment expenses of the SCC is around $150 per day.

Secondly, Your JanaShakthi Contributions will be used to pay-off the principal of the mortgage which is critical to the long term sustainment and further development of the facility.

You can be one of proud contributors to this fund, so that Sinhalese Cultural Centre can continue to serve the community.
