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.

On this warm summer's evening we have just completed our weekly seva. Offering our usual snacks and refreshments. This week we were able to supply freshly cooked pasta as our hot meal with some comments of how its been a while since we provided pasta.

The response was extremely positive this week with all items taken within 30 minutes of us setting up.

As usual, thanks for all volunteers involved who have taken time out to continue this seva which is being appreciated each week by those individuals who are making use of it. ... See more

Why do we do this?

Our volunteers have just returned from this week’s Seva and were able to provide a hot meal to any individuals that require it. Despite the weather we have seen a steady flow of people visiting over the last few weeks. Those individuals who do visit us are always grateful for our efforts and appreciate what we do.

For those who have only just liked our page or is seeing this post for the first time, the background to our Seva is a group of volunteers came together in April 2016. After speaking to local organisations and charities we decided to offer a hot meal to any individuals who required it.

We are a non profitable organisation, all food is provided via donations and everyone involved are volunteers. A question we are asked each week is why do we do this? Our answer is simple, to spread the message of equality set by our Gurus. Sikhism teaches to share with others and help those with less who are in need.

Each week we see regular faces and new visitors, the feedback remains positive and we will continue to do this Seva each Wednesday at 7.00pm. ... See more

Heatwave continues!

For once we are enjoying some warm weather however there the importance of our Seva is still present in warmer weather just as it is in colder weather. During this weather we find that dehydration can be a big problem for those individuals who visit us.

With this in mind we took extra water and drinks with us this evening to ensure we had enough supplies available. We offered pizza and chips our hot meal and as usual were able to serve over 20 people.

Our Seva will continue each Wednesday at 7.00pm regardless of weather and regardless if 1 person comes or 30 people come. ... See more

Another Wednesday, Another Seva.

Our volunteers have just completed their weekly seva and we found this evening to be a little bit slower with approx 15-20 meals served.

This evening we served fresh pizza as our hot meal and include drinks, crisps for anyone who required it.

Now that the weather is turning and the days are getting better, we believe numbers will increase and we will continue to provide our seva each Wednesday at 7.00pm. ... See more
