BONC Sajha Ghar is a facility that is available for community-related social or at times for recreational activities. The Sajha Ghar is run by the BONC management committee administered by the BONC constitution. The management committee exists to serve the BONC 4 objectives for the betterment of its members in Burnt Oak and surrounding areas. The committee manages the hall and determines who uses it. Where availability permits, the Sajha Ghar can be used by a variety of groups and organisations on an occasional or regular basis for different activities that will benefit the community. The BONC members can propose the idea of a regular trading activity as a way of raising funds known as ‘non-primary purpose trading’.
