Story

'Serve Humanity with Every Step'.

The sewa volunteers are blessed to be a part of has grown substantially in the past 12 months.  We have seen a marked increase in the weekly numbers of those we are serving with hot meals, clothing and sleeping bags. We now have 9 weekly outreach sessions having most recently added Reading and Slough in Berkshire not including Brighton which we do monthly.

A call to help! - With the increased number of people we are serving we require your help to raise funds for the sewa to continue. This year we are raising money for the homeless outreach work to continue which will include buying food and supplies to distribute at each outreach session. An example of what a single average outreach session costs is around £350, we have 9 per week which equates to 468 sessions per annam that requires funding! Other projects in the funding pipeline includes:

1. Supplies for the Ambulance project

2. Shower Facilities for those living on the streets

3. Laundry service

4. Winter clothing, sleeping bags, blankets, hats, socks, gloves etc.

5. The purchase of a unit for NishkamSWAT to operate from (currently we are renting)

The 26 mile walk starts in Southall and we will walk together to Piccadilly Circus, London and return. The walk takes around 10 hours at a leisurely pace. The registration fee which covers refreshments throughout the day, vegetarian lunch, specialised walking socks and a T Shirt for the event.

Please get involved in this fun event and help us achieve our target of £101k for the sewa to continue.

Thank you & God bless.
