Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

TO ADVANCE THE HINDU FAITH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEACHINGS OF SHRI SHIRDI SAI BABA AS SET OUT IN THE BOOK "SHRI SAI SATCHARITRA", IN PARTICULAR, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, THROUGH PROVIDING PLACES OF WORSHIP, HOLDING OF PRAYER MEETINGS, LECTURES, PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS, PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION ON SHIRDI SAI BABA THROUGH LITERATURE AND MUSIC, ASSISTING THOSE IN CHARITABLE NEED.

Shri Shirdi Sai Sansthan (UK) (SSSSUK) is committed to enabling as many people as possible to participate in the worship of and to learn about the Indian Saint Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.

SSSSUK promotes information on Shri Sai Baba through regular prayer meetings, participation at various fairs, arranging and offering guidance to those interested in having prayers for Sai Baba held at their homes and through collaboration with other Temples and Organisations.

This has been achieved by SSSSUK arranging regular prayer events where members from all communities are welcomed to join and participate.

The charity uses the funds it raises to hire premises for its prayer meetings, organising professional singers at its larger events and distributing free blessed food (“prasad”) to all those attending.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The charity also hands out free materials on Shri Sai Baba such as books, audio CDs, magazine and souvenirs such as stickers, bookmarks, pens, keyrings and bracelets.

The Trustees maintain an overview of the charity’s events and consider how its services can involve the many groups that live within proximity of the venues where worship takes place. The charity also looks to work with other faith groups and local communities to consider the contribution it can make to wider public welfare and in particular helping those in need.

In particular, the charity tries to enable ordinary people to learn more about Shri Sai Baba, whose lifelong philosophy encouraged community cohesion and unity of all faiths. It attempts to do this through:

To maintain this work it is important that the organisation’s Trustees, Volunteers and Congregation continue to make all members of the public feel welcome each time they come to events or when seeking further information on Shri Sai Baba.

Section D Achievements and performance

During the year, the charity continued to be constrained in the events it could hold due to impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As such, the charity was not able to celebrate in the usual way but still held informal prayers.

The charity maintained its working relationships with Shirdi Sai Global Foundation and other Shri Sai Baba temples and organisations, both within the UK and oversees.
