Summary of the main activities

DREAMSAI is an inclusive charity run by the local Milton Keynes community working for the benefit of all communities and making a profound impact. Many community-led activities are initiated to positively contribute for community wellbeing and successfully motivated the residents to become more involved through volunteering. The charity’s reach and impact are maximised by collaborating with various partners in the sector. DREAMSAI is a bridge in connecting and building stronger communities.

DREAMSAI runs Shri Shirdi Saibaba Temple and community centre in Milton Keynes which is a registered place of worship and is open for everyone every day of the year. The temple celebrates all Indian festivals of various faiths in addition to Hindu festivals. The temple is all run by volunteers supporting in performing aarti, cooking Prashad (a holy meal served in Temple), serving Prashad, facilities, procurement and inventory etc making it a community run temple. Priest services which are specialist religious services are outsourced.

Based on the teachings of Indian Saint Shirdi Sai, DREAMSAI also support homeless community and vulnerable elderly with free cooked meal and essential items, deliver free food & essential parcels to families in need, support local schools with breakfast packs, holiday food parcels, organise workshops for youth and promote blood donations from ethnic minorities.

We now take immense pride of a team of 627 volunteers of all ages and backgrounds serving half a million meals annually to those in need as a food charity and managing Shri Shirdi Saibaba temple meeting the cultural needs of the community with a footfall of over 115,000 visitors in addition to supporting blood donation camps, conducting youth activities and many more community focussed projects. We are driven by our core values of being authentic, equitable, transparent and inclusive.

Our mission is to meet the needs of people whatever their background is as taught by our guru Saibaba. All our services are provided free of charge to everyone, and we are run by the generous voluntary donations. We celebrate festivals of various belief systems while welcoming people of any faith or no faith into mandir. We are proud to be the first temple in the world to accept digital only donations since inception.

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. What is particularly impressive is that the charity and temple is open every day of the week and serves meals twice everyday - all managed by passionate volunteers. The well-oiled operation of such a young charitable organisation providing services every day is nothing short of phenomenal. A special mention to our exceptional young talent who are 38% of our volunteer force, their drive and energy is palpable. DREAMSAI also consistently developed positive partnerships with many national & local organisations to collaborate and provide seamless operations, joined up services to widen the reach and impact while minimising the duplication.

Thousands of home cooked hot meals are served every year to the homeless or those in temporary accommodation. Festive Hampers are distributed to those in need during diverse festivities including Diwali, Christmas & Eid demonstrating our inclusive approach. Our group has also been responsive and adaptive to the changing needs of Milton Keynes and addressing the gaps to meet immediate community needs. Many lives are supported with the blood donated by DREAMSAI donors every year.

The charity which received the prestigious Queen's Award for voluntary service (an equivalent of MBE for volunteer groups) during the birthday honours in June 2021, from Late Her Majesty Elizabeth II has received Charity of the Year Highly Commend Award from Milton Keynes Business Achievement

Awards in March 2023. These awards given to DREAMSAI demonstrates the positive impact this group has created on our communities.

Strategies

As part of expansion plans to meet demand, DREAMSAI successfully opened a public place of worship Shri Shirdi Saibaba Temple and Community Centre in July 2023. The primary purpose of this facility is to serve as a HUB for all DREAMSAI community projects & meeting the needs of the growing population. Further to receiving the planning permission for the change of use in 2022, internal building works were concluded to change the premises to meet the need including a prayer hall, dining area, serving area, kitchen, community centre, office area and toilets. Upon successfully receiving the building regulations approval, the premises opened to public in July 2023. This is a major step forward towards achieving the five-year strategy. This facility has become a hub for all operations. Engaging with cultural and spiritual activities enhance the mental health of the individual, which in turn benefits the mental health of the collective, leading to a happier and healthier society.

The number of community members benefitting from this facility increased multi fold as the place is open every day of the week. The Temple visitors come from across the length and breadth of England. The service users for food charity are from across the communities including elderly members, financially challenged families with school going children, families with poverty, homeless individuals, homeless shelters, youth & partner organisations. In addition to existing successful initiatives DREAMSAI would further host and anchor such constructive social engineering projects which are vital in bringing the community together in a way which will have a lasting positive impact on our communities.

The Temple and community centre is contributing towards the creation of safe, sustainable, mixed communities with good access to for all members of the community for social interaction. The users of all areas of Milton Keynes significantly benefit from this facility. This facility proudly represents the Diverse & Inclusive profile of Milton Keynes.

Volunteer Contribution

DREAMSAI are 100% volunteer run organisation with 38% of them youth volunteers. An organisation structure is in place for strategy, governance, safeguarding and operational purposes. The number of volunteer hours given is quite staggering, and even more remarkable when all volunteers are holding down full-time jobs or in education. In a volunteer Survey, 96% of volunteers said, “By volunteering with DREAMSAI, I have a sense of fulfilment and am creating a positive impact on others”.

DREAMSAI has 627 registered volunteers of all ages and background, every week hundreds of volunteers participate in seva(service).

Activities and Achievements

Being an ethnic group ourselves, we had a profound impact on reducing social inequalities and building stronger community cohesion by running local, community-led inclusive projects, which involves active engagement from diverse communities; all of which was achieved solely by volunteers.

Temple

Temple & Community Centre enabled us to centralise various well received community projects that benefits the diverse communities across Milton Keynes. Saibaba’s doctrine of Shraddha and Saburi underpins all activities at the Temple, steering visitors towards spiritual growth and community cohesion. His teachings on simplicity, selflessness, and devotion are integral to the temple’s daily rituals, events, and services, establishing it as a vibrant centre that is open every day from 8am to 9pm. For those who can’t often visit Shirdi , India the Temple in Milton Keynes offers a similar spiritual experience, making Baba’s presence accessible. The Shirdi Sai Temple, mirroring the sacred atmosphere of Shirdi, offers a sanctuary of peace for meditation and reflection.

Each cultural event at our temple is more than just a celebration; it is an opportunity to immerse in rich diverse traditions, enjoy vibrant cultural performances, and foster a deep sense of unity and belonging. These celebrations attract visitors from far and wide, with diverse backgrounds. creating an inclusive and dynamic community.

The temple hosts a rich array of cultural festivities that embody the spirit of unity and diversity, including Sankranthi/Bhogi, Lohri and Vaisakhi, Ugadi, Holi, Gudi Padwa, Guru Purnima, Ram Navami, Kshamavani, Diwali, Chandnostav and Urus, Christmas, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Dasara. These events not only celebrate traditional customs and rituals but also foster cultural exchange among devotees from various backgrounds.

The Prasadalaya (Dining Hall) at the temple serves as a vibrant centre of activity, offering freshly cooked Prashad to all visitors and the needy twice daily, free of charge. Each meal is first offered to Baba and then to visitors, symbolising divine grace. This shared dining experience fosters a strong sense of belonging and spiritual fulfilment.

Since its inception last year, the Temple Kitchen has prepared over 64,000 meals, highlighting its commitment to community service and selfless devotion. Volunteers, certified in food hygiene, ensure every meal is a labour of love, maintaining high standards and reflecting Sai Baba’s spirit.

The Prasadalaya kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, efficiently handling the demands of a bustling community. This modern facility ensures precise and careful meal preparation, providing seamless service to all visitors. The temple’s kitchen also boasts a five-star hygiene rating, emphasising cleanliness and safety. This commitment ensures that every meal is prepared in an environment prioritising community health and well-being.

Devotees celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, and other milestones by sponsoring Prasad, reinforcing community and shared joy while some make generous grocery donations.

Committed to sustainability, the temple uses steel plates and spoons, washed and reused after meals. For larger events, recyclable disposables are used to minimise environmental impact.

A devotee said "This temple transcends religious boundaries and touches the depths of the human spirit. One of the most striking features of this temple is the main hall, where one can immerse themselves in meditation and prayer.”

Food for Sai

After the pandemic of 2020, continued cost-of-living crisis has brought unprecedented situations to the normal life of everyone and we have seen significant increase in the demand for the food charity services. The combination of inflation, wage stagnation and real-terms cuts to benefits is severely impacting households’ ability to afford essential costs. As the cost of food continued to rise and other inflationary pressures restrict household budgets, access to sufficient and nutritious food is increasingly out of reach for a greater proportion of the population. Food for Sai project play a crucial role in reducing hunger and hardship for the poorest children, families and communities with complex challenges.

DREAMSAI’s ethos are deeply rooted in the SAI teachings of love, compassion, and selfless service. We strive to embody these values through various community-focused projects like FOOD FOR SAI while supporting the vulnerable communities.

Cooked Meals

Launched in 2018, the FOOD FOR SAI cooked meal project has been serving warm meals and hope every Saturday to guests who are homeless or in temporary shelters. Food poverty and homelessness can lead to isolation and poor physical and mental health. Our service has been a lifeline for many, offering not just nourishment but also a sense of community and care.

Every Saturday starts early for our dedicated volunteers. While master chefs cook in our temple kitchen in Kingston, the youth-led team sets up the distribution centre in Central Milton Keynes. They serve hot drinks, meals, snacks, fruit, and drinks to the homeless at Buszy (the old bus station). A variety of dishes are made. The diverse weekly menu is eagerly anticipated by our guests. The cooked meals are also distributed to various temporary emergency shelters across the city housing refugees, or homeless or the women fleeing domestic violence.

A young volunteer said ““I admire the dedication of DREAMSAI to serve food every Saturday without fail.”

Breakfast Packs

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet the number of children facing food poverty in Milton Keynes has continued to rise, reflecting a national trend exacerbated by the cost of living crisis. The School Breakfast Project delivers milk and cereals to seven local schools within Milton Keynes. In addition to this, we provide food parcels for students to take home during school terms and holidays. This pupil focussed initiative supports their development and enhances their ability to concentrate and engage in school activities. We also partner with local businesses and community organizations to ensure the sustainability and reach of this vital program.

A headteacher said “At three of our primary schools in Milton Keynes, families have been benefiting from DREAMSAI support. The charity volunteers who drop off the hampers are wonderfully polite and thoughtful.”

Interfaith Hampers

Based on SAI teachings of ‘Sabka Malik Ek’, we distribute festive hampers for Diwali, Eid , Christmas & Easter enabling the communities their special festivals. These hampers bring joy and support to families during these important times, fostering a sense of unity and inclusiveness.

Food Parcels

The food parcels project started in response to the pandemic in 2020 has become essential, especially during the ongoing cost of living crisis. We deliver about 4,160 free food parcels annually to those in need in Milton Keynes. These weekly parcels provide nutritious meals to our most vulnerable community members. Around 150 volunteers from diverse backgrounds participate in this project working as procurement, packing, and delivery teams. The procurement team collects donations from food banks, partners, and supermarkets, and youth volunteers help sort and check expiry dates. These activities are carried out throughout the week, ensuring regular checks and efficient logistics.

Every Saturday, the packing team gathers at Buszy (the old bus station opposite Milton Keynes train station) to assemble food bags for households across Milton Keynes. They unload the van, sort items, pack the bags, and load vehicles for delivery. This effort, driven by youth volunteers, fosters community spirit and offers them a chance to engage in meaningful work. Volunteers from diverse backgrounds unite for a common purpose and positively impacting society.

The delivery team, composed of adults and sometimes their children, completes the process by not only distributing the food packs to various households but building connections with the recipients and receiving gratitude in return. Every volunteer supports the cause passionately, inspired by Baba’s message of giving food to those in need.

A food parcel recipient said “ I believe that you are the kindest people on this planet. You kept many people who are in the same situation as me alive”

Guinness World Record Event

Our youth volunteers participated in a world record attempt for the longest line of cans, organised by the MK Food Bank. Collecting and lining up 800 cans, they surpassed our target by 200. The new record is 102,447 cans, up from 44,000 in 2014. This journey, fuelled by passion and dedication, involved over 250 organisations. We are proud to be part of this historic Guinness World Record achievement, showcasing incredible unity and effort.

Hidden Stories – The Indian Chapter

In collaboration with the Film Academy Milton Keynes and funded by the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, we launched “Hidden Stories: The Indian Chapter.” This project aimed at highlighting the

10 | P a g e

Indian community’s contributions to Milton Keynes over the past fifty years. It was a great opportunity for youth talent to make short films on topics like the NHS, economy, culture, and faith etc.

School Cultural Days

We participate in many school cultural days to showcase Indian culture and we firmly believe that by celebrating our differences, we pave the way for a more inclusive and understanding society. We invite community groups into mandir and participate in city forums to representing the positive contribution of temple & charity in Milton Keynes.

Blood Donation

DreamSai actively collaborates with NHS Blood & Transplant, advocating for increased blood donation within the UK’s Indian community, particularly important due to the shortage of blood types prevalent in Asian communities. Despite only 7% of the UK’s population engaging in blood donations, DreamSai’s campaigns have been fruitful, with 186 new registrants, 55% of whom had never donated before. This is crucial as ethnically matched blood donations significantly aid in treating conditions like thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia. The initiative also focuses on organ and stem cell donations, addressing the critical need for donors within Asian communities, where matching is essential and waiting times are notably longer. DreamSai’s commitment extends to saving lives through kindness and active participation

Three Peak Challenge

Our charity is run by the generous voluntary donations from the community. Our team conducts many fundraising events to raise the much needed funds while promoting health & wellbeing. Three peaks was one of the challenges successfully completed where our volunteers conquered three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. Led by two experienced hikers and a team of like-minded volunteers, the event was a fruitful and pleasant experience for all participants.

A challenge participant said ““This challenge offered not just a test of endurance but also a profound sense of peace and achievement. The satisfaction of reaching each peak was immensely rewarding.”

Awards

We are delighted to have received the prestigious Queen’s Awards for Voluntary Service in 2021, the highest honour for a voluntary group in the UK, bestowed by the Late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This recognition, equivalent to an MBE for volunteer groups, is a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, donors, and supporters. We are also thrilled to be awarded the Charity of the Year highly commended award at the Milton Keynes Business Achievement Awards (MKBAA) in March 2023. This honour celebrates the hard work of our entire team, whose unwavering commitment continues to drive our mission and positively impact our community.

Our Founder & Chairman Laxman Kastala has received the British Empire Medal (BEM ) in Her Majesty The Queen’s Birthday Honours 2022 list as a recognition of his services to Milton Keynes Community.

It’s surreal explaining about the charity to none other than the monarch, a lifetime memory and great opportunity to take the charity’s cause further. Before leaving the stall HM said “Please convey my best wishes to every volunteer in your charity and all the Indian community of Milton Keynes. Please continue doing this wonderful work”.
