Home / What we do
Our programmesEverything we do is run by volunteers and free to take part in. Here are the six areas we focus on across the region.
A WhatsApp tree in each city for the small things that make a big difference — a lift to hospital, groceries for someone stuck at home, an evening meal when it has been that kind of day. Requests come in through the local coordinator; volunteers pick up what they can.
Where: every city group. How to ask: message the local coordinator or email us.
Regular in-person meetups in each city — usually monthly, usually somewhere with chai. A chance to meet neighbours, share what has been going on, and quietly plan the next thing. Newcomers welcome every time.
Format: informal. Cost: free. Kids: welcome.
Skills-swap evenings, low-cost cooking, basic first aid, digital literacy for elders, budgeting, kitchen gardening, tailoring. Members teach members. If you have a skill worth sharing, we will find you an audience.
Coming next: household repair evenings and nutrition workshops. See events.
A friendly first point of contact for anyone feeling isolated or overwhelmed. Not counselling — we are not qualified for that — but a warm hand-off to trusted local services, and someone to walk alongside you until you land somewhere safe.
If you are in crisis please call iCall on +91 9152987821 or Vandrevala Foundation on 1860-2662-345.
Family-friendly meetups, holiday activities in school breaks, and support for parents who want more of a village around them. Safeguarding-first: police-verified volunteers, published policy, clear reporting route in line with the POCSO Act 2012.
Policy: our safeguarding statement.
Small ration shelves stocked by members, for members. Take what you need, add what you can. Run in partnership with local temples, mosques, gurdwaras and community halls that host the shelves.
Where: currently in three cities. Want one where you live? Get in touch.
People know their own lives best. We ask what would actually help before we offer it.
Every city group decides its own priorities. No central board dictating what happens in your street.
We publish what we do, what worked, what did not, and where the money went. Trust is built by receipts.
If none of the above runs where you live, that just means it has not started yet.
