ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||This year the Vivekananda
Human
Centre did not stage any public
events, due to concerns
relating to public safety resulting
from the
continuing
COVID-19 pandemic.
We are then undertaking
continuous
monitoring
and reviews to determine
when
it is appropriate
to hold large-| ||||scale indoor events again
in the future,
in consultation
with prospective| ||||attendees.
At the point that we do so, we will ensure that we are| ||||compliant
with government
recommendations.| ||||We are continuing
to distribute
food in the UK through
the Vivekananda| ||||Food Bank, and distributed
food, winter clothes and educational
support| ||||in Bangladesh,
India and Nepal, as we did last year, to mark the occasion| ||||of Durga Puja and Diwali
in October and November,
the Holy Mother' s| ||||Birthday
in December,
and then
in January to mark the Birthday| ||||Celebration
of Swami Vivekananda,
and March to mark the Birthday| ||||Celebration
of Ramakrishna.| ||||We made a donation
towards welfare support to the Ramakrishna| ||||Mission
in Belur Math
in India which
will go towards
assisting
the| ||||activities ofthe Viveka Tirtha Centre.
We will continue to support the| ||||initiative
ifwe have any surplus
funds
in future.| ||||We maintain
a website at htt
s://www. vivekanandacentre.
com on which| ||||we feature
all events and information
about the work ofthe charity.|
