Street teams

Right from the word go The Forgotten British Gurkha charity has relied on public participation to achieve its aims.

Feel like joining the team?

Any school interested in The Gurkha’s as a 'project', we will pleased to provide support, Veterans and information, give talks etc., all free.

Additionally, the charity can provide information and collecting tins, buckets, id badges etc. All you need to do is get a team to help you,  pick an area and contact us. We will assist you do the rest !

Two good examples of this, this year, were, firstly, in Reading, when a group of Gurkhas collected their badges and buckets and prepared for action. Some of them wore their traditional "Slouch" hats, and between them managed to collect in excess of £2000. A huge vote of thanks to the people of Reading for their generosity.

Then, several weeks ago, after receiving and invitation from MORRISON'S SUPERMARKET in Southampton, 4 Gurkhas, including ChattraThappa Magyar, our number 1 collector, collected over £1800. Again many thanks to the residents of Totton and District, hopefully we will meet you again.

Some of the money has now been used to upgrade the Allotment site in Theale, near Reading, which is being tended by several family groups from Reading area, and really flourishing.
