Bedford charity continues vital support for the homeless as Prebend Street Day Care Centre to close
Bedford based charity SEVA Trust UK, which is working on education, health, social welfare and environment and social welfare in East of England and India, has been continuing vital support for vulnerable people and families facing extreme hardships.
The SEVA Team provides staple food and daily use essentials to those who contacts them direct for urgent needs as well as to support those who attends Prebend Street Day Care Centre in Bedford, managed by SMART CJS.
Thanking these support efforts, the Head of Smart CJS said Matt O’neil-Kemp said “SEVA Trust has given SMART and the Prebend Centre regular support for many years. They provide regular deliveries of a wide range of staple food, toiletries and daily use essentials and have raised funds in the past to support our day centre for which we are incredibly grateful. This vital support from SEVA Trust and other organisations help us to support people during some of the most difficult periods of their lives, providing practical help, compassion and dignity when it has been needed most. We cannot overstate how grateful we are for everything SEVA Trust has done for us” he said.
Reacting to the public announcement by SMART CJS to close Prebend Street Day Care Centre, Charan Sekhon MBE and Kunwarjeet Pannu, who coordinates community support projects for SEVA Trust said “Our teams have worked very hard for the past ten years to support local communities. We are pleased to offer vital support to the most vulnerable individuals and families during the most challenging times. Without a single paid staff in our charity, all our volunteers are doing a great community service and we would like to thank them all and all our supporting partners. We are feeling sad and disappointed to hear about this news of closure of Prebend Centre but this will not stop our ongoing support work. We will continue to support people experiencing homelessness or hardships in Bedfordshire in line with the concept of Seva (selfless service for all).”
