✓ The S.W.A.T. (Sikh Welfare & Awareness Team) volunteer team regularly serve delicious vegetarian food to the people who need it the most; which usually consists of Spicy Pasta (served piping hot), Punjab Samosas and Spring Rolls + every one is given a "Goodie Bag" consisting of Chocolate, Crisps, Cans and Bottled Soft Drinks.
Every Monday at 7:30pm in the heart of Camden Town on Camden Market High Street, NW1 (just after the tourists and visitors to the famous markets are gone) arrive a group of volunteers from Southall (around about an hours car drive away) who come specially to feed and offer comfort to the people who need it the most in our society.
It is humbling to know that there are people in this world who are carrying out unconditional service to help the most needy in our society, may God Bless them all for what they do!!!
It is even more humbling to know that the SWAT Team were there as the massive fires tragic events unfolded at West London's Grenfell Tower Block; the volunteer team were giving out food, water, emergency supplies and comfort and support to anyone who required the aid.
The S.W.A.T. team (based in Southall, West London) regularly set up a street kitchen in various locations to provide free food for the people (on the streets of the United Kingdom) who need it the most. (Locations at Charing Cross, Camden Town, Oxford, Southall and Brighton).
Following the principles of Guru Nanak the Sikhs give out free Langar, Langar is Prasad (also known as food blessed by God) so they don't charge for it.

We quote the following from their Website; swatlondon.com :
“We have a vision where every person we meet knows they are loved and valued, lives safely, with respect, faith, hope and care for themselves and others, achieving their full potential and positively contributing to and transforming their communities”.
We work on the ethos of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings who was the first Guru of the Sikhs of:
Naam Japna; remembering God.
Kirat Karni; earning an honest living.
Vand Kay Shako; selflessly serving others, sharing income and resources
The Sikh Welfare & Awareness Team (S.W.A.T) is a charitable organisation based in West London, Our primary function is to unite and transform financially disadvantaged communities by focusing on projects which make a difference to people’s lives in the short term and improve their prospects in the long term. We were founded in 2008 which our first project being a youth club offering regular workshops on substance awareness, informal talks on the Sikh and other faiths and encouraging the children to engage in group discussions and debates on current issues they are facing today such as gang culture, drug addiction, and alcohol abuse, in 2009 we discovered over 200 men sleeping rough on the streets of Southall which then established our "Homeless Project" where we go out to different areas of the UK to feed the less fortunate. In between this we have established many more projects.
