Nishkam SWAT's work
Nishkam SWAT was launched in 2008 by charity founder Randeep Lall and since then it has grown to provide 4000 meals for the homeless every week.[2][3]
The homeless charity provides meals in a number of English towns including London,[4] Reading,[5] Oxford,[6][7] Bristol,[8] and Luton[9] with volunteers including students[10] and members of the interfaith community.[11]
The charity was founded on the principle of Langar started by Guru Nanak and is the first charity to take Langar to the streets.[12][13]
During the COVID-19 pandemic they have worked with the NHS, Government and medical advisors to continue providing homeless feeding services.[14]
