Reflecting on 2020


2020 proved to be a year never to be forgotten! It was a year of pain, of hardship and of untold grief for so many. For others, it was a time for reflection and introspection, time to reset certain life patterns and most importantly of all, a time which displayed humanity at its best, that of the selfless show of kindness we felt for one another.

It is this very sense of community kindness that has made 2020 one to remember for One Kind Act. The resounding success of our Child of Mine Ball in Dec 2019, the continuing generous support of our followers through donations and fundraising efforts (especially that of the youngsters) and that of our loyal Sponsors and the invaluable bonding of new charity partnerships has meant that One Kind Act have achieved more than we could have hoped for in such a difficult year. It has meant that the TOTAL FUNDS RAISED IN 2020 WAS JUST UNDER £145K.

You will see we have been able to continue to reach out to worthy Causes in India & Africa, comprising £150K of our grants. The remaining £100K of grants has been in our response to the COVID crisis here in the UK. Never before have we witnessed the courage and selflessness that some local charities such as LCK, OFFL & SWAT have shown in tackling food poverty amongst the poor, vulnerable and the homeless. We SALUTE all such charities for the dedication they have shown in 2020.

A Bright Start to 2021

We have hope for 2021. And this first ray of hope has been inspired by no other than Alisha Malhotra, our Chairman’s daughter.

Five years ago, after suffering a stroke, Alisha had to put her teaching career on hold. The work she did empowered children to stand on their own two feet. Five years on, she’s returning to education. In partnership with One Kind Act and Yuva Unstoppable, by launching Bright Start - An Educational Scholarship Programme to help some of the brightest but most marginalised children in India.
