Feeding the Homeless

Throughout the year, the Manju Shahul -Hameed Foundation has been dedicated to supporting the homeless community by organising monthly feeding events. These events not only provide essential nutrition but also foster a sense of community and connection among participants.

In the first quarter of the year, we held our feeding events on 5th April and 6th May. The April event supported over 100 individuals, thanks to the generous sponsorship from Spice Village and Grand Sapphire London. In May, we celebrated the King’s coronation with a special cake -cutting ceremony, sponsored by the Indo Ceylon Spice Restaurant.

As we moved into the summer months, we continued our mission with an Eid celebration on 12th July, where we shared meals with the homeless, supported by Grand Sapphire Hotel & Banqueting and Spice Village. On 20th September, we celebrated Onam, at West Croydon Methodist Church, with the generous assistance of Crown and Pepper Restaurant.

On 18th October, the charity hosted another feeding event, receiving unwavering support from Uncle Lim’s Kitchen, which helped us provide nourishing meals to those in need. On 8th November there was a special Diwali celebration, where we united in compassion and generosity, once more with the support of Uncle Lim’s Kitchen, reminding us of the spirit of hope and kindness that transcends traditional festivities.

As we entered the festive season, on 20th December, we continued to extend warmth and care to the homeless. In addition to providing nourishing meals, we distributed sleeping bags and goodie bags filled with essential items. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Crown and Pepper and Grand Sapphire Hotel & Banqueting for their food contributions, as well as to Liz Goumas and her family for their generous donation of sleeping bags, bringing comfort during the cold winter months.

We also organised events on 24th January 7th February, and 6th March, where the West Croydon Methodist Church transformed into a hub of warmth and care. These events were made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, highlighting the power of unity and collaboration in supporting our most vulnerable neighbours.

These monthly feeding sessions have not only provided essential sustenance but have also sparked a deeper appreciation for the blessings many of us take for granted. Each event serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of kindness, compassion, and generosity, shining brightly in challenging times. Together, we can continue to be a beacon of hope, offering support and understanding to those who are struggling.

The intergenerational aspect of the Café is a significant feature, fostering meaningful exchanges between generations.

In Quarter 1 , the Café joined the J o Cox Foundation' s ‘The Great Get Together’ event on 4th April , strengthening the bonds of community and togetherness.

On 7th November, the guests were welcomed with salsa dancing lead by Brenda. On 5th December , a special Christmas-themed Dementia Café featured festive treats, singing, dancing, and a joyous sing-along. Performers from the PonSita School of Dance UK helped make the event particularly memorable, spreading holiday cheer to all.

In Quarter 4, the Dementia Café kicked off the year with a yoga session on 9th January . Participants embraced calming stretches and breathing techniques lead by Kam. This session also celebrated "The Great Get Together," an initiative by the Jo Cox Foundation , encouraging connection and togetherness across generations. On 6th February & 5th March , salsa dancing took centre stage, filling the Café with energy and joy as attendees learned new moves, bringing smiles to everyone involved.

Silver Sunday

Four years ago, our charity proudly launched Silver Sunday in Croydon with the aim of celebrating and supporting the elderly in our community. Since then, we have continued this special tradition each year, and it has grown into a key event that brings together different generations to honour the older members of society, fostering connections and combating loneliness.

This year’s Silver Sunday afternoon tea was held at the Clocktower Café in Croydon on Sunday, 1st October 2023, from 2 pm to 4 pm . We were honoured by the presence of the Civic Mayor of Croydon, Councillor Tony Pearson , and were treated to wonderful performances by young talents Shradha , Anush , Anaya , and Ayrin .

In addition, our charity was recognised as one of the five winners of the early registration competition across the UK , a fantastic achievement made possible through the invaluable efforts of Liz Goumas , to whom we extend our heartfelt thanks.

This year marked the fourth intergenerational Silver Sunday in Croydon, continuing the tradition of bringing together younger and older generations for a day filled with joy, laughter, and a strong sense of community. We are immensely grateful to Liz , Toni , and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the event so special and memorable.

Silver Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to foster a sense of belonging and community, connecting people across generations. Over the past four years, we have seen the positive impact this event has had, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming everyone again to this heartwarming celebration in the years to come.

A special thanks goes to Meenakshi , a dedicated 14-year-old, and her mother Smitha , whose efforts were instrumental in ensuring the day’s success.
