Namaste and Jai Shree Krishna
We would like to thank all the members and trustees in supporting us carrying out Samaj duties for the year 2013-2014. Without your support, we would not have achieved what we already have. Charity
The highlight of the year has been our fund-raising. We would like to thank the members and volunteers who have generously supported the fund-raising activities of the Samaj for various charities. In particular for the Water Aid( HQ charity), we raised a mammoth sum of £ 11,545.46, for the Philippines’ Typhoon disaster we raised £ 2001, and for the Uttar Khand floods we raised £ 561. Samaj goes further in helping those SPA members who participate in charity events and who approach us for sponsorship towards their chosen charity. So far this year we have given sponsorship of up to £ 102.50.
Volunteers
|
Our members are exceptionally loyal to the Samaj, with many providing |
voluntary services for many years. The members of the various committees have worked extremely hard on the projects they take on. The volunteers provide a highly efficient and well regarded service to our members, without whom many events / programmes we organise would not have been possible. Your generosity and dedication is invaluable!
Volunteers are always required at the Samaj and we urge you to come and help us in whichever way you can. Volunteers come from all walks of life and are of all ages. Volunteer tasks are interesting and varied ranging from trustees roles, leaflet drops, membership fee collection, hall opening / closing during the week, helping with social and religious events etc- the list is endless. In return the volunteers gain new experiences and the satisfaction of doing something for the Samaj.
|
Our volunteers have worked very hard during the year. In addition, some other members have also regularly given voluntary services to the Association. It is very difficult to give an exact |
monetary value of these services but at the current minimum rate, it would be estimated in excess of £ 80,000.
The Association wishes to thank the members for their sincere support in both their attendance and the voluntary activities they participate in. We hope that you will continue this level of support in years to come.
Jai Shree Krishna Kantibhai D Mistry( President)
