Our Impact

Our main fundraising initiatives are community events and our Biennial Gala. Over the last 5 galas we have raised over half a million pounds for our ongoing projects. All of our trustees and executive committee members work on an voluntary basis.

Our current projects include providing nutrition for 500 school children, an enhanced skills programme for 120 children, vocational training courses to 100 women annually, free medical and dental check ups to a local community, computer classes and sponsoring creches for working mothers. Ladies that have benefitted from the training programmes are encouraged to return to the centre and mentor students. We also support a maternal health programme and an early childhood programme in a very remote part of Rajasthan, a home for the elderly, and a women’s centre in Delhi educating the local community on their civil rights

In the UK, we fund a debt management programme which to date has benefitted over 70 families. We also sponsor the distribution of food to approximately 250 homeless people once a month at Charing Cross. Many of our committee members personally volunteer to distribute the meals.

A percentage of our funds annually are allocated towards Disaster relief. In 2015, a generous corporate donation from the Veling Group enabled us to send financial aid through a matching funds programme to assist in the rehabilitation of families affected in the Nepal earthquake.
