Five generations coming together for one purpose❤️

In an incredible feat of volunteering, five generations of one family came together to volunteer at Diwali Basket Brigade in 2025.
We were thrilled to be joined by our eldest volunteer Prabudas (96), his nephew Ramesh (81), his daughter Smita (58), her daughter Vaidehi (35) and her daughter Sienna (2). Seeing generations united by kindness, compassion and community spirit is truly special.

They helped pack hampers that supported families facing food poverty, proving that making a difference has no age limit.

Please continue to help us fight food povery by donating via our Just Giving page:

Millions of people – including one in five families with children – have gone hungry or skipped meals in recent weeks because they could not regularly afford to buy groceries.

We need your help to be able to raise the funds to create and pack our hampers. Thank you to all who have donated and supported us so far, we could not do this work without your help.

Food insecurity remains alarmingly high across the UK, with almost 1 in 8 households (12.2%) experiencing food insecurity, up from 11.3% just one year ago. More families are finding it harder to afford the essentials as the cost of living continues to put pressure on household budgets.

✨ At Diwali Basket Brigade, we have increased the number of people we support year after year. This year, we want to help more families than ever before as the need in our communities continues to grow.

Please help us achieve this goal by:
