South Asian Heritage Month
18 July to 17 August is South Asian Heritage Month. Launched last year, this aims to raise the profile of British South Asian heritage and history in the UK through education, arts and commemoration, promoting understanding and cultural sharing.
As part of the celebration, Merton Heritage Service has compiled a new set of history resources. This includes online displays, film, useful websites, recipes, puzzles, crafts, research information and links to local organisations. We hope you find the webpage of interest. We will be adding more resources during the course of the month.
