## **Anglo-Indian Circle T/A Sangat Advice Centre** 

## **We celebrate 50 years in the service for the Community** 

## **Annual Report 2022 – 2023** 

As the country faces austerity, recession, and a cost-of-living crisis, many communities, particularly black and South Asian communities, are feeling financial pressure. Women and people with  disabilities  are  also  disproportionately  affected.   For example, during the pandemic a higher-than-average number of deaths occurred in the South Asian community. 

A recent analysis of data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that the wealth divide between Indian adults and white British people is £88,082 and for Pakistani people, the figure is even higher, at £111,869. 

The data also revealed women to be £93,000 worse off than men and disabled people on average, £67,000 worse off than their able-bodied counterparts. 

In response to the challenges faced by the most vulnerable in the community, people often look to charities for support. Our charity, Sangat, has been in existence for over 50 years and has been doing its part to help. 

In response to the pandemic, we provided free food, advice, and support to hundreds of people, including elderly individuals suffering from mental health problems. COVID disproportionally impacted socially isolated elderly people who were at risk of self-harm and suicide. 

To  combat  loneliness  and  isolation  during  the  lockdown, especially for those living alone, Sangat provided 14 iPads to those in need, offering social participation, telephone companionship,  and  information  sharing.  The  aim  was  to 



reduce the digital divide through training on digital skills and improve health outcomes through preventative measures. 

## **Warm Bank – from November 2022** 

In addition to our pandemic response, the Board of Directors approved  the  use  of  our  own  resources  to  launch  a  new initiative called the “ **Warm Bank”.** We recognised the urgent need for social change and decided to redouble our efforts to assist  those  in  need  in  a  timely  manner.  Our  Warm  Bank initiative is just one way we are helping low-income people stay warm  and  connected,  and  combat  feelings  of  insecurity, powerlessness,  and  exclusion.  The  Board  accepted  that  this was not a diversion from other key activities but an important moral duty to assist the most vulnerable, complementing the efforts  of  other  Government  and  local  authority  initiatives. Other warm hubs have also been set up in Harrow, providing access to wider support, such as debt and benefit advice. 

## **A warm, homely place that welcomes everyone** 

The Warm Bank was set up to provide a warm place for people to  escape  the  cold  weather,  particularly  those  who  cannot afford to heat their homes during the winter months.  Through the Warm Bank, Sangat provides a homely community resource that offers advice sessions, meeting space, and social space for people  to  network  build  friendships,  and  have  a  healthy vegetarian meal. The Sangat Warm Bank welcomed everyone, regardless of age, financial status, disability, race, religion, or cultural background. 

The Warm Bank not only provided a warm and safe space for people to escape the cold but also offered a range of activities to promote social interaction and mental well-being. Attendees played cards and board games (including the Carrom), bingo, read newspapers, did puzzles, join in yoga sessions, listened to live music, and above all made new friends. 



## Volunteers 

At Sangat, we rely heavily on our volunteers who have made the  commendable  decision  to  put  a  few  hours  aside  to volunteer rather than do some extra paid work to earn money to meet the rising costs. We recognise their valuable service and thank each one.

AsÈan commuDities, are feeling fthancial pressuir. Women a￿d people with disabilities are also dispropDrtionately
affected. For example, during thc pandemic. a higher-than.average numb￿. of death5 occurred in the South Asian
community.
A recent analysis of data published by the OffEce for National Statistics (ONS) showed that the wealth divide between
liJdian adults and while British people is £88,082 ond for Pakistani people, the figure is even higher. at £111,869.
The data also revealed womeii to be £93,000 worse off than Inen and disabled people on average, £67,(X)O worse off
than tlieir able-bodied counterpai1s.
In response lo the challenges faced by the Inost vulE]erable in the ￿llE￿Willy, people often look to charities for $upport.
Our charity, Sattgat, has been in existence for over 50 years and has been doing its port to help.
In I'esponse to the pandemic, we provided free food. advice, and suppoil to liundreds of people, including elderly
tndividLials wffering from mental health probletns. COVID disproportionally impacted socially isolated elderly pwple

stay wami and connected, and combat feelings of insecurity, Powerlessness, and exclus￿011. The Board accepted that tliis

The Wami Bank not only provided a wami and safe space for people to escape the coSd but also offered a Yange of
