Welcome to the Shree Prajapati Association UK Wellingborough Branch Website
About Us Section

Wellingborough SPA is the smallest branch in the UK and incorporates Northampton, Kettering and the surrounding areas.  Our branch was set up in the mid 1970s thanks to the endeavours of Vallubhbhai, the late Mulchandbhai and Chottubhai Mistry.  Their work was carried on by Dhirubhai who was the branch secretary for many years.  Today we continue to fully participate in all SPA activities and are very pro-active in raising monies for local and international charities.
