NishkamSWAT is a 100% voluntary humanitarian-aid organisation founded in 2008 that look after the immediate needs of the street homeless. Th serve at least 5000 meals a week in 24 locations in the UK, and 2 locations internationally, 32 times a week based on the concept of Langar (Free Community Kitchen) through faith-based values of love, truth, compassion, forgiveness, contentment and humility. One outreach location in particular, the Strand in London sees at least 350 meals being served on some nights, 5 times a week. During these unprecedented times in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increase in service users which has increased the amount of food, refreshments, clothing, and blankets/sleeping bags we serve.
At Christmas, NishkamSWAT gives out Rucksacks with essential winter supplies to the homeless. We ask that you purchase a large, durable rucksack and each day, for 25 days, put in an essential item that would help those sleeping rough this winter.
