Residents at the Corby Homeless Project were treated to some Indian savouries, as part of a charitable initiative by the team at AJB Group to give back to the community.

AJB Group’s CEO, Amarjit Binji, provided finely wrapped packages, each containing a selection of samosas and pakoras. He was greeted by Lucy Brooks and Susie Skelham, pictured, Resident Engagement & Project Lead and Homeless Pathway Co-ordinator, respectively, who gave a guided tour of the building. 

Jo Burns, CEO of Encompass charity which runs Corby Homeless Project, said: “We would like to thank Amarjit and his team from AJB Group for their kind and generous food bank donation. With an ever-increasing rise in the cost of living and the likely impact of this on homelessness, even stronger partnerships are going to be vital. Whilst Encompass continues to go over and beyond its call of duty, it’s organisations such as AJB Group that can help add even greater value to all that we do.”

The latest quarterly Chain figures found just under 3,000 people sleeping rough in London between April and June 2022. This represents an alarming 10% rise on the 2,714 people recorded in the previous three months. As it stands, nearly seven million people are said to be going hungry in the UK, including two million children. That’s an increase of 2 million since the pandemic. By next month, almost half of all children will be living in families who’ll be unable to meet the cost of some basic necessities, research suggests.

This month marks Shraadh, an important religious annual period in the Hindu calendar. Shraadh is observed over a fortnight and is a time when Hindus all over the world honour their ancestors and loved ones who have passed away. It’s seen as an opportunity to give to charity and to feed the homeless. The days during Shraadh are dedicated to remembering and thanking with sincerity and faith, those who are no longer with us for the sacrifices they made and recognise that we owe our presence on this earth to them.

Corby Homeless Project is a partnership with North Northampton shire Council, aimed at helping those who are homeless, both immediately and longer term. As well as supporting with accommodation, residents are supported to learn to cook and clean, access their benefits, budget and plan for the future, complete training courses, education or be work ready and access other agencies such as health services, drug and alcohol support, the job centre and domestic abuse services.
