This evening marks the one year anniversary of the Swindon Sikh Seva Society. 12 months ago, a handful of volunteers decided to get together and give back to those who are less fortunate.
Over the past 12 months we have able to provide a weekly hot meal to anyone who requires one with the total number of hot meals served exceeding 1500.
This evening, we have seen a busier than normal evening with new visitors as well as some regulars. This evenings hot meal was vegetarian chilli with rice freshly prepared by volunteers. We additionally offered the normal snacks like crisps, chocolates and biscuits. A thanks to Bethan Trueman who joined us this evening and provided food donations.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those individuals who have support our seva since its start, for those people who have given up their time to help out as well all those people who have kindly donated food.
The response we have received over the last 12 months has been extremely positive and although we have faced challenges particular during the cold months, we are motivated to continue this voluntary seva going.
