History and work

In 2021 they opened The Good Karma Store in the former Gap store on Hamstead High street, offering goods crafted by rural women in India[6] Two years later, in 2023 they initiated a major environmental project to protect the Sundarbans by planting two million mangrove trees in the wetlands of West Bengal. [7]
In 2024 they organised a Diwali gala dinner event in Westminster's Central Hall.[8]
The organisation currently has a global network of 3,000 volunteers.[9] They continue to deliver free meals to vulnerable families, addressing food insecurity during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. [10]
