The Hertfordshire County Council is moving forward with plans to dispose of the site. We are facing two critical, imminent deadlines to secure our permanent home:
- 22 October 2026: Deadline to submit our formal application for the purchase of the site.
- November 2026: We must present a £900,000 deposit to the council to successfully purchase the land and prevent it from being allocated to competing bidding groups.
How you can help the Mandir:
- Financial Sponsorship or Matching Grants: A leadership donation, interest-free emergency bridge loan, or matching-gift pledge to help us secure the £900,000 deposit.
- Strategic Resources and Guidance: An introduction to legal experts in UK public land law/Asset of Community Value (ACV) frameworks, or advisors experienced in large-scale charity asset acquisition.
- An Appointment: A brief phone call or meeting with our trustees so we can present our accounts, site plans, and the full timeline of the situation. If you can give us some time
Our official trust information and audited donation channels can be fully verified via our official page at watfordvelmurugan.org/
Please see attached a briefing note and a PDF file with more information.
