Building A Caring Community Through Compassion In Action
Helping Hands embodies our temple’s commitment to seva, selfless service that uplifts those in need through measurable, sustainable community impact. Founded in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, it began as emergency food support. It has evolved into a structured community development program with transparent goals, careful resource allocation, and documented outcomes.
Guided by Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s teachings of love and selfless service, we welcome contributors of all backgrounds who share our commitment to compassionate action.
Disaster Relief
When natural disasters or humanitarian crises occur, we act swiftly, deploying essential aid and resources to those in urgent need. We channel our community's compassion into practical assistance, providing critical resources and fostering resilience in affected regions.
Homeless Outreach
On the last Sunday of each month, our team visits central London to support those who are sleeping rough. We offer hot drinks, food packs, hygiene essentials, and seasonal items like sleeping bags and warm clothing during the winter months.
Food Support
Every Saturday at 5pm, near Willesden High Road, we distribute nourishing meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity. We serve food and aim to restore a sense of dignity and hope to those facing hardship.
Humanitarian Aid
Our commitment to human dignity extends beyond our local community. We stand in solidarity with global relief efforts and provide vital support to those facing hardship, regardless of their location or background.
Your Role in Making a Difference
Whether you’d like to volunteer your time, donate essential items, or sponsor an event in memory of a loved one, your support makes our work possible. Together, we can create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and compassion.
