About Us
A proud heritage, a living community
The London Tamil Sangam is a registered charity and voluntary community organisation in Manor Park, in the London Borough of Newham. One of the oldest ethnic-minority organisations in Britain, we have been a second home for Tamil families for generations.

யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்We look after our community the way a family does. We help children and adults learn and love the Tamil language, keep our culture and festivals alive, and stand beside one another with learning, friendship and a helping hand, so every Tamil family can feel at home in Britain and proud of where they come from.
