Despite no updates being posted our Seva has continued each Wednesday as we are now approaching nearly two and half years since our Seva was set up. For those that are seeing this post for the first time, we are a non profit organisation who are simply giving back to those in need.

Over the last few weeks we have been setting up on College Street (by Tesco Metro). Initially our volunteers were visiting our regular location to inform individuals that we have now moved and now word has spread which results in regular and new faces visiting us each week. This week we offered fresh pasta and garlic bread as our hot meal and offered the usual crisps, biscuits, water for those who require it. While we say this most week, we would like to thank all those individuals who have volunteered their time, provided donations and continue to support our Seva.

We are now proud to say, we celebrate our 2nd anniversary. Each Wednesday for the last two years regardless of the weather, we have provided those individuals in need with a hot meal and food. During this period we have heard of many stories of the difficult times that people faced. Each week we are always told how thankful they are of the Seva provided. We would like to thank all of those who have taken an interest in our Seva, as well as donated and supported our Seva during this period. This evening was no different than usual, we have found that the road leading towards Carfax Close is now closed however this has not stopped us from providing our Seva from our usual location just by the Flemming way underpass. While the weather has improved we continue to see regular faces who required a hot meal. This evening, Pasta was freshly prepared shortly before we began serving. Our Seva will continue again next week at 7.00pm on Wednesday. We would also like to take this opportunity to wish Sikhs across the world a Happy Vaisakhi. Vaisakhi marks the birth of the Khalsa (way of living in the Sikh religion) and is one of the most important dates in the Sikh calendar. ...

Whilst the number of visitors each week seem to vary each week, our volunteers are always pleased hear positive response from our visitors with regular feedback of how the meals we supply are appreciated. Additionally, this afternoon we attend HOSTS (Homeless Alliance) Spring forum held at the Civic offices. It was a good opportunity to find out what other organisations are doing to help and to share our findings while doing our Seva. Our Seva will continue again next week on Wednesday at 7.00pm. ... See more View on facebook 6 years ago Photos from Swindon Sikh Seva Society's post After the adverse weather conditions over the last week or so we found this evening's Seva was like previous weeks. As mentioned, last week we found very little visitors to our Seva as many people were off the streets given the conditions. This evening we found it to be busier than last week as we were visited by some regulars and offered the usual warm food as well water, crisps and biscuits. The hot meal prepared this evening was lentil curry with bread rolls and scones which was greatly received. We would like to thank all of those volunteers who take time out to support and donate to our Seva. We will be continuing next Wednesday at 7.00pm on Carfax Close. ...
