British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently took part in volunteer activities with the international NGO Go Dharmic in London to boost community service.
During his visit, Sunak engaged hands-on in the preparation of Vegan Kichari, a nutritious and environmentally sustainable meal, which is part of Go Dharmic’s “Feed Everyone” initiative. This effort aims to distribute these wholesome meals across the globe to support those in need.
PM Sunak’s involvement included chopping vegetables and stirring large pots, working alongside other volunteers in the kitchen. His participation highlighted not only his commitment to social causes but also his personal connection to the principles of Dharma, a concept he has often referenced since his inauguration.
At the event, several Go Dharmic trustees and lead volunteers from across the UK, including
Central London, Wembley, Luton, Harrow, Northampton, Leicester, Glasgow, and
Edinburgh, highlighted the organisation’s significant social impact, collectively serving over
50,000 meals a month to vulnerable individuals in their communities.
Sunak’s visit coincides with his previous recognition of Go Dharmic’s founders, Hanuman Dass and Sheena Randerwala, whom he honoured with the Points of Light award during Diwali in November 2023.
Reflecting on the Prime Minister’s visit, Hanuman Dass expressed deep gratitude for Sunak’s active participation and genuine interest in the NGO’s mission.
Dass remarked,
“This profound act of kindness by the leader of the nation will inspire more seva (selfless service) and attract more volunteers for many years to come.”
Go Dharmic, known for its humanitarian and environmental efforts, has made a significant impact through its wide array of initiatives. The organisation serves over 50,000 meals monthly to vulnerable individuals across the UK and runs extensive campaigns in various global regions including India, Nepal, Morocco, Lebanon, Uganda, Nigeria, Cuba, and even war-torn areas like Ukraine.
Go Dharmic continues to expand its reach and influence, advocating for peace and compassion through its campaigns in Environmental Action, Poverty Alleviation, Education, Plant-Based Diets, and Crisis Response. Established in 2011, the organisation now operates globally with offices in London, Glasgow, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Georgia, USA.
