The Sanatan Mandir Cultural Centre (SMCC) Ladies Group is extremely proud to share their progress and activities so far.

Founded in 2012 under the Sanatan Mandir Cultural Centre umbrella, this Group has bonded 200+ women who are regular attendees of the SMCC. The annual membership fee is a mere $15 and yet we are able to put together memorable moments for each participant.

For decades women have banded together to challenge injustices, overcome barriers and pursue equality.
