Hot food, dessert, cake and hot drinks were distributed along with blankets, scarves and hats to almost 200 deprived homeless. It was a particularly brutal day with icy driving winds and heavy rain.  Everyone was huddled under hooded jackets, handing out food, trying hard to be upbeat and joyous. However, an OKA trustee looked sorry enough to be mistaken for one of the homeless and was promptly offered compassion and a warm meal!Despite of, or perhaps because of the weather, the homeless continued to stream through for almost two hours, grateful for the food, blankets and the warmth of volunteers who clearly cared about them as individuals.SWAT not only feed the homeless in UK through their volunteers' fundraising efforts, but also do other wonderful work like providing maternity care support for mothers in poverty in Kenya. May 2016: On one of the warmer evenings in May we’ve experienced this year, members of the OKA committee gathered at the Strand to offer help to an amazing charity SWAT (Sikh Welfare & Awareness Team). Initially set up as an organisation to primarily unite and transform financially disadvantaged communities, SWAT recognised in 2009 a desperate need to attend to so many people sleeping rough on the streets of London.  It was then that they established their "Homeless Project" to reach out and feed the less fortunate in all different areas of the UK.  London brightens up noticeably in periods of fine weather, no doubt apparent on that sunny evening in May as we noticed a greater bustle and liveliness on its streets. However, balmy weather does not disguise the real hardships of the homeless, who struggle daily without food and shelter. This uncertainty prevails throughout rain or shine. This was abundantly clear as we witnessed a queue of around 200 men and women waiting in line to be given their daily meal. We felt privileged that we could help. With an assortment of drinks, snacks, pre-prepared food and pizzas donated by the Pizza Express chain of restaurants, we were able to help alleviate some of their despair. In particular, one woman stood out. 8 months pregnant, she expressed immense gratitude for her next meal. She had nowhere else to go and though she was likely to be admitted into hospital for the birth of her child, she was under no illusion that she would return with her new-born to the unforgiving harshness of the streets of London. It saddened our hearts to hear this and we, as associates of OKA, felt humbled to be able to help.   December 2015: A grant of £100 per month for 1 year (Total of £1,200) has been made to provide monthly supply of biscuits to up to 200 homeless people.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Change Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.

Every year, tens of thousands of young people become homeless. Sadly, council services are often unable to support more than half of the young people across the country that so desperately need a helping hand. Consequently, many are forced to sleep in overcrowded hostels, on people’s sofas or even on the streets. LandAid is the property industry charity working to end youth homelessness in the UK. It brings together remarkable businesses and individuals across the property and wider built environment industry to fulfill ESG goals through supporting projects delivering life-changing services for 16–24 year-olds experiencing homelessness. By awarding monetary grants and arranging free property expertise through their Pro Bono Programme, LandAid invests where lasting community impact can be achieved. LandAid receives no government funding. All monetary grants are generously provided through the property and wider built environment industry. This includes long term partnerships, individual donations and fundraising through LandAid’s flagship sponsored events throughout the year. The incredible support and continuing commitment from the industry enables homelessness charities across the UK to provide safe, secure accommodation within a supportive environment for young people, helping them reach their full potential and look towards a brighter future.Help One Kind Act to support the young and vulnerable homeless in the UK.Grants Awarded to LandAid by One Kind Act   October 2024: From raising funds by Prideview Group at their Cricket Cup Day 2024, a grant of £10,000 was made towards the support and provision of shelter to the homeless youth in the UK.15 August 2023: From raising funds by Prideview Group at their Cricket Cup Day 2023, a grant of £10,000 was made towards the support and provision of shelter to the homeless youth in the UK.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Change Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.
