Events and Fundraising
This year marks a significant milestone for Your Seva, as we successfully transitioned to the Total Giving platform following the closure of Virgin Giving. While we have seen some success in migrating our donors and direct debits to the new platform, our overall expected income stream has been adversely impacted as a result.
The shift to a new platform has not only affected our fundraising efforts but has also placed significant pressure on our volunteers. Unfortunately, these challenges are aspects that are often unforeseen but have a tangible impact on our operations and our ability to support those in need.
In response to these challenges, we have further extended our fundraising capabilities by partnering with Just Giving, a renowned donation platform. This strategic move aims to broaden our reach and engage with a wider audience, enhancing our ability to secure vital funds for our ongoing projects and initiatives.
As we move forward, we remain committed to exploring additional fundraising opportunities to support our mission. We deeply appreciate the continued generosity and commitment of our supporters, which is vital in ensuring we can provide meaningful assistance to those who rely on us. Thank you for standing by us during this transitional period.
This year, Your Seva has funded a number of specific causes in addition to monthly pension/essential provision distribution service some of which are detailed below.
House Rebuild Projects
As part of our ongoing efforts to assist impoverished families, we would like to highlight the story of Mangal Singh and his family from Village Baliyan Manjpur in Tehsil Amritsar, District Amritsar. This Sikh family has faced significant hardships due to poverty, struggling to complete their family home.
Mangal Singh, a dedicated labourer, and his wife, Davinder Kaur, who also works in the fields, have encountered numerous challenges, including the potential loss of their home.
In a moment of desperation, a local pastor offered to construct a roof for their house if they agreed to convert to Christianity. Faced with this difficult choice, Mangal Singh remained resolute in his commitment to Sikhi, which resulted in a tumultuous period for their family. To provide support during this critical time, Your Seva undertook a project to rebuild their home at a cost of £3,090, restoring much-needed stability for the family.
In addition to Mangal Singh's project, Your Seva successfully completed three other home rebuilding initiatives this year, including projects for Bhai Kulwinder Singh (£7,960), Bibi Gurjit Kaur (£5,801), and Bhai Harwinder Singh & Beant Kaur (£2,500). We maintain detailed records of the costs for each project and share this information with the community to ensure transparency in our fundraising efforts.
Your Seva continues to focus on repairing and rebuilding houses, addressing issues such as damaged walls and roofs, and providing basic furniture and utility connections. We ensure that all funds are accounted for by paying workmen directly and closely monitoring repairs and maintenance to guarantee they are completed efficiently and to a high standard.
During the 2022/23 period, Your Seva assisted families in dire need by rebuilding their dilapidated homes. Your continued support is vital in making these efforts possible.
Care Home Project
We are pleased to announce that the Your Seva Care Home has officially opened its doors, embodying the core values of love, community, and care, with the blessings of Vaheguru Ji and the Sangat Ji. This facility provides a safe and stable environment for elderly members of the community who are alone and facing poverty. It serves as more than just a shelter; it is a Community Hub where the old and young come together with a shared purpose—the betterment of the Panth and the holistic well-being of its residents.
The Care Home is designed to foster interaction among residents of different age groups, encouraging understanding and support among individuals facing diverse challenges. Our vision is for the Care Home to be a sanctuary where the neglected find solace, the vulnerable find strength, and the disadvantaged find hope.
Currently, the Care Home accommodates both elderly residents and 25 children under our care, as well as children from the wider community. We offer a variety of enriching activities, including afterschool tuition, kirtan, shastra, gurbani, and gurmat vidiya, empowering our young residents with knowledge and spiritual growth.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all donors whose generous financial support ensures that mothers impacted by the loss of family, such as Mata Rawel Kaur Ji and Mata Balvir Kaur Ji, and all the individuals and families in our care receive the love and assistance they need to rebuild their lives.
Educational Support
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing educational opportunities for disadvantaged children, Your Seva Gurmat School welcomed two new permanent residents this year: Onkar Singh and Pavitar Singh, whose stories highlight the impact of our work.
Onkar Singh, aged 12, tragically lost his father and was later left unsupported by his stepfather’s family. Pavitar Singh, aged 6, is the nephew of Shaheed Bhai Kashmir Singh Chander, whose family has faced severe persecution and poverty. Both children have been enrolled in the Mehta Chowk Khalsa Academy for their academic studies and are now permanent residents of the Your Seva care home, where they receive a nurturing and supportive environment.
We are pleased to report that we successfully secured a year’s worth of educational sponsorship for both boys. Currently, Your Seva supports 25 children in total, all of whom live at the care home and attend the Khalsa Academy. These children, many from orphan, single-parent or poverty-stricken backgrounds, benefit from the quality education and spiritual guidance we provide, helping them grow into active and contributing members of society.
To support the ongoing educational costs for all 25 children, we launched a funding campaign via Total Giving, which received a fantastic response. This funding will help cover essential expenses such as school fees, uniforms, educational materials, and travel costs. The overall cost to support each child is £550 per year.
In addition, we will be aiming to provide biographical educational packs to donors, showcasing the individual stories and journeys of the children they are supporting. This initiative will help donors understand the direct impact of their contributions.
Through these efforts, Your Seva continues to fulfil its core objective of providing life-changing educational support to vulnerable children, helping them build brighter futures.
Medical Treatment
This year, Your Seva provided vital medical and financial assistance to Sukhbir Singh, a granthi Sikh of 35 years with pre-existing kidney issues and a history of heart attacks. After suffering a snake bite that worsened his condition, Sukhbir was overwhelmed by his medical and financial burdens. However, with our support covering his medical costs, he felt relieved and at ease during his final months. Despite this, Sukhbir Singh sadly passed away. We continue to support his family as they navigate this difficult time.
Gurkirat Singh suffered a severe work-related accident that required urgent spinal surgery. In response to this critical situation, Your Seva mobilised community support and provided a total of £2,400 to cover the medical expenses and assist with the loss of income during his recovery.
Thanks to generosity of our donors, we were able to alleviate significant financial stress for Gurkirat and his family, allowing them to focus on his healing journey.
Your Seva remains committed to supporting individuals in need, demonstrating the profound impact of community compassion in transforming lives. We provide regular updates on all cases through our social media platforms and ensure that we obtain three separate medical opinions to guarantee the best possible support for our beneficiaries.
Support for Underprivileged Women
In 2020, Your Seva successfully supported an appeal to rebuild the home of Manjit Kaur, who had tragically lost her husband at a young age and was facing significant health challenges. The family’s home had collapsed due to the inability to afford essential maintenance, but with the generous support of the Sangat, the appeal was fulfilled, providing the family with safe accommodation. Unfortunately, Manjit Kaur’s health has continued to deteriorate, including suffering from heart problems and mobility issues, leaving the household without an income.
Concerned about her health and the future of her children, the family decided to arrange the marriage of their 18-year-old daughter, Harjit Kaur. The wedding took place on 2nd January 2023. Your Seva launched a further appeal to help cover the wedding costs, and thanks to the generosity of donors, the Anand Karaj (wedding) was successfully completed. Manjit Kaur expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the wider community for their continued support during her family’s time of need.
In addition to the support for the wedding, Your Seva continues to provide monthly food and household provisions to the family, ensuring they have essential supplies during this difficult time.
Your Seva also supported Poonam Kaur during this same period.
These case highlights Your Seva’s ongoing commitment to supporting underprivileged women and their families, particularly by assisting with marriage costs and ongoing basic provisions, offering relief from the financial pressures they face.
After-school club
Your Seva continues to use some financial resources towards nurturing future generations by providing educational support to poverty stricken children, specifically through sponsoring an after school club in Amritsar, Panjab. In this year the number of children attending the club has grown to over 45 boys and girls. Your Seva recognises that together with the eradication of poverty, it is imperative that the youth of today has the opportunity to create a better tomorrow.
Social media
Your Seva continues to share (via social media including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube) the stories and struggles of those families and individuals whom Your Seva supports. The charity has seen real benefit from the sharing of such media and this has resulted in greater awareness in the community. Social media allows actual/prospective donors to connect better with the objectives of Your Seva. Your Seva has been approached by many UK, Canadian and American individuals with a desire to visit and support the families and individuals whose cases have been published by Your Seva.
The ethos of transparency is paramount to Your Seva. The charity considers it fundamental to make it clear and unquestionable whom the charity supports, why it supports them and how the public can support them too.
Monthly income support
Your Seva continues to provide direct financial monthly income supplements of 3000 rupees a month as support to families and individuals for general expenditure which they encounter on a more day-today regular basis, such as for food supplies, utilities bills, transport costs and medical supplies for the purposes of their ongoing welfare.
To ensure that funds are utilised in an effective and efficient manner, Your Seva continues to conduct means assessments on the families who are receiving welfare/pensions on an ongoing basis to ensure that the support is still required and those most in need are sufficiently supported. The amount of the monthly allowance provided is universal across all families to whom Your Seva provides this support.
Your Seva continues to run its SAF (Sponsor a Family) project whereby donors sponsor a specific family so they are aware of the circumstances, background and also make regular contact with them directly. With a line of communication being established directly between the sponsors and the families, their support extends beyond financial support to a sharing of knowledge, ideas, motivation, inspiration, history and emotion so that both parties can benefit from the programme.
There are currently 104 number of families and donors taking part in the SAF project. Going forward the aim of the Sponsor a Family project is to have all families sponsored by a sufficient donor to build a personal relationship and fundraise to support their own sponsored family.
Ration Panee Project
Your Seva continues to make a significant impact in Punjab through the Ration Panee Project, now supporting 90 families in need. These families often face extreme poverty due to unfortunate circumstances such as loss of family members, illness, disability, or other disadvantages. We conduct a means test to ensure eligibility for support, which has effectively saved many children from child labour and allowed them to continue their education.
Each month, on the 10th, families visit the Your Seva Care Home to collect their food and household provisions, with the monthly cost of support at £20 per family. This initiative not only provides essential supplies but also fosters a sense of community spirit, as families come together to pray while their packages are prepared. Additionally, we offer spiritual and family counselling services, allowing families to discuss various issues and access other programmes provided by the charity. Your Seva remains committed to uplifting these communities and improving their quality of life.
Emergency relief
In 2023, Punjab faced another devastating flooding crisis that severely impacted numerous communities across the region. Your Seva, drawing on the experience and lessons learned from our relief efforts in 2020, acted swiftly to provide support to those affected by the floods.
We mobilised our resources to deliver essential aid, including food, clean drinking water, and hygiene supplies, to families in dire need. Our dedicated team of volunteers worked tirelessly to assess the situation and ensure that help reached the most vulnerable populations. Recognising the urgency of the situation, Your Seva also purchased its first boat to navigate flooded areas, allowing us to reach those stranded and cut off from immediate assistance.
As part of our relief efforts, we distributed ration packages containing staple foods and hygiene products, helping to alleviate the hardships faced by many families. The generosity of our donors played a vital role in this initiative, enabling us to make a significant difference during this crisis.
Your Seva remains committed to supporting the communities of Panjab in their time of need, continuing to build on our previous efforts to ensure that families receive the help they require in the aftermath of natural disasters. Through our collective efforts, we strive to bring hope and recovery to those affected by the floods.
Plans for future periods
Your Seva understands that as times are difficult it is likely to see further strain on its income as donors are likely to cut their donations to charities in order to deal with the current ‘cost of living’ crisis. Your Seva will look to explore alternative sustainable sources of income in order to continue to meet the charity’s needs and objectives.
The trustees of Your Seva, in collaboration with the management team, have made the important decision to establish a school facility within the care home complex. This initiative is driven by the pressing need to provide quality education to underprivileged children, building upon our existing base of 25 children and aiming to expand our capacity.
Construction has commenced on an extension to create eight dedicated rooms on the top floor of the building, which will include a computer room, classrooms, and activity rooms. Access to other parts of the complex will also be available as needed. We plan to submit an application to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India, with the goal of having the school operational for the academic year starting in April 2024/25. Initially, we aim to accommodate 50 children, with the potential to expand this number to 100 in the coming years. Funding will be sourced from small to medium-sized businesses, as well as support from individual sponsors who wish to sponsor a child. We sincerely pray to Akal Purakh Vaheguru for success in our mission to deliver quality education to those in need.
