About the International Centre

Sunderland Bangladesh International Centre provides a venue for social and cultural events, meetings, training, and is well used by a range of voluntary and public sector organisations as avenue for their activities. In addition, the centre runs a range of projects and services that meet local needs.

The centre started as a pioneer project in 2000, originally to meet the needs of the Bangladeshi community in the City of Sunderland. From the very beginning the it has supported and developed work that has promoted the integration of all black and minority ethnic communities in Sunderland into the mainstream life of the city. The centre has always stressed that is ‘open to all’ and that its mission is to serve all communities irrespective of ethnic origin, culture or religion. The centre recently changed its name to International Centre in order to reflect the increasingly international nature of its activities.

The centre is located in Hendon, very close to the commercial centre of the city. It iis easy to reach by public transport and it has its own car park at the front of the building.

The organisation is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
