ALDI LEYTONSTONE

The World Shirdi Sai Baba Organisation (UK) [WSSBO] is a registered Charity, founded in 2010, dedicated to spreading the teachings and philosophy of Shirdi Sai Baba, fostering spiritual growth, and serving humanity through selfless service (seva). Based in Newham & Waltham Forest, we work closely with local residents, councils, businesses, and charities to empower individuals, provide essential support, and foster unity. Through initiatives like free hot food distribution, knowledge empowerment programs, health and well-being support, and community initiatives, we strive to make a meaningful impact, guided by the values of compassion, service, and inclusivity.

We serve approximately 40 families a week and this number is growing. We run a discreet service and our users can come in give very minimal details and take what they require. To identify service users and their needs, we utilize multiple strategies. Firstly, we advertise our services on various platforms to raise awareness among the community. Additionally, we collaborate with local organizations like the council, leveraging their networks to reach a wider audience. Importantly, our service operates without the requirement for individuals to prove their need, fostering inclusivity and accessibility. We operate on a trust basis, believing in the inherent dignity of all individuals. Our offerings, including tinned foods, bread, and non-branded goods, are provided in good faith to meet the basic needs of our community members. Through these approaches, we aim to identify and serve those who may benefit from our support without imposing unnecessary barriers or judgments. We none the less collect basic details and do a register upon arrival weekly that gives us the statistics we require to ensure supplies meets demand. We provide the whole service free of charge and we rely on dedicated volunteers to keep this running and regular donations. We have recently struggled with supply and demand and have looked at partnering with local organisations for a more sustainable way of working. Our other activities consist of a regular weekly youth club which is also free. This is run for both boys and girls every Friday night.
