Go Dharmic is a Hindu faith charity that encourages people to create positive changes in the lives of others by volunteering and uses the motto 'love all, feed all, serve all'. [1] [2]
History and work[edit]
The charity was set up in Luton by Hemal Randerwala in 2011. [3]
During the COVID-19 pandemic they worked with a number of different partners including the Northamptonshire County Cricket Club [4] whilst operating an emergency food helpline [5] and they served their one millionth meal in the UK [6] providing meals for international students and others in need of emergency food. [7] In India they raised £30000 [8] to deliver oxygen cylinders and organise Covid care facilities to help overstretched Indian hospitals with a team of 1500 volunteers. [9] They also teamed up with Uber India to provide 1000 free life saving rides. [10]
In 2019 they organised a charity bike ride in honour of Mahatma Gandhi's 150th Birth Anniversary. [11]
In 2021 they opened The Good Karma Store in the former Gap store on Hamstead High street selling goods made by rural women in India[12] and in 2023 they launched a project to save the Sundarbans through the planting of two million mangrove trees in the West Bengal wetlands. [13]
They have 3000 volunteers globally [14] and have continued to deliver free meals for vulnerable families during the ongoing cost of living crisis. [15]
Awards and nominations[edit]
In 2023, the charity received a Points of Light award from the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. [16]
