Where are the Sikh Charities

[Big_Tera]

For these homeless Sikh people?

Shocking this is happening on our doorstep. Yet we have so called sikh charaties swanning off all over the world. Yet we cant help send these Punjabi Sikhs back home to India. Many have become addicted to alcohol on the streets. They have no paperwork or legal knowledge. Hence they are trapped on the streets in the UK without a job and income with no where to turn.

I'd be asking where the local community and the Gurdwara's were, "Sikh" Charities can only do so much, they are a charity reliant on donations, the purpose of the Gurdwara is partially to help people in need but they were probably too busy spending all that "committee" money.

‘A wake-up call’: Deaths of homeless Indians in Ilford prompts Sikh community to launch new campaign

Ten people have died homeless in Redbridge since October last year – six of them from India, trapped for years in a bureaucratic limbo. A community campaign is being launched to stop them dying on our doorstep.

Campaign Sikh Support aims to provide the borough’s Punjabi rough sleepers access to temporary accommodation, addiction and immigration support by bringing together a number of initiatives.

As The Recorder reported earlier this month, Indian nationals – predominantly Sikh Indians from the Punjab region – make up the majority of those dying on the streets of Redbridge.

It’s a wake up call,” said campaign co-founder Mankamal Singh.

 

“I think we, the Sikh community, have let things slip a bit in east London.

“Many of the rough sleepers who died are well known to us. We know their faces and we have been seeing them for the last 10 years on the street.”

At a funeral service for rough sleepers who died in the past year - held last Thursday (November,  at St Martin-in-the-Fields in central London – nine out of 170 homeless mourned had the surname ‘Singh’, Mankamal highlighted.

That amounts to more than 5pc, while the London-wide Sikh population is only 1.5pc.

“It does not take a genius to recognise the disproportionality in these deaths,” Mankamal added.

“This is not a statistic to be proud of.”

Mankamal said that community groups like Seva, the Sikh Empowerment Voluntary Association, have been doing great work feeding the homeless every week in Ilford town centre.

But he added: “We know that more is required than just food.”

Many of the Indians sleeping rough in Ilford share similar stories - trafficked to the UK around a decade ago, exploited by the black market construction trade and now aging, ailing and afflicted with addiction.

They lack the documentation needed to return home but they cannot work or access services in the UK either - a situation known as having “no recourse to public funds”.

To address this, Sikh Support is working to foster support and raise funds for Project Malachi – which aims to create a temporary hostel out of recycled shipping containers in Chadwick Road.

It is also forging links with organisations in west London and Birmingham to provide rough sleepers with an alcohol addiction treatment service, akin to the AA’s 12-step programme, in Punjabi.

Finally, the campaign will be teaming up with Sikh Council UK to arrange Punjabi-speaking caseworkers for support rough sleepers in Ilford who wish to return to India do so.

The council has been appointed by the Home Office to repatriate people across the country through the Voluntary Returns Service (VRS).

It is good to see that Sikh charities have started to work on Sikh issues instead  of wasting resources on duplicating the work of others. The days of idiotic SJW Sikhs like the muppet in this videos who thinks we have too many Sikhs already should be coming to an end soon.
