Gratitude is thankfulness expressed in action
Every day, we are deeply grateful for the opportunities that have shaped our journey the people we’ve met along the way, and the unwavering love of our family.
We believe in the power of generosity and the value of giving back to our community. That’s why we proudly support YLF, a local youth charity based in Kent, dedicated to helping young people thrive.
The struggles faced by those leaving the care system deeply resonate with us. Family is at the heart of everything we do, so joining a network that offers guidance, opportunity, and mentorship to those who may have lacked that support is something we’re passionate about.
Our mission is simple: to empower young people so they can build confidence, seize opportunities, and forge their own path to success.

An press exert from Kent online
“Volunteers from the Sikh organisation Khalsa Aid coordinated a series of hot food deliveries to stranded lorry drivers, Christmas 2020. Christmas 2020 saw the UK back in Covid lockdown with lorry drivers stranded on the M20 to Dover away from their families and a good meal, but we did what we do best we delivered pizza and a little happiness!” Â
Gravesend businessman Dip Dhillon runs multiple Domino’s pizza franchises including many across the county which helped with the effort.
When he learnt of the plight of the drivers and the efforts being made by the Sikh community he says he felt morally compelled to act.
“I was watching the news when I saw what they were going through,” said Mr Dhillon. “I picked up the phone to Ravinder Singh [who is leading Khalsa’s response] and said is there anything I can do to help?
The pizza boss enlisted the help of nearby Domino’s shops to make 200 pizzas each and he then coordinated their efforts with Khalsa Aid to deliver them to the motorway roadside with the help of a Kent Police escort.
Mr Dhillon says the response from the truckers has been heartwarming.
“Some people when we opened the door to give them a pizza were really happy,” he said.
“When we finished yesterday we realised we didn’t have enough. So we are going to go further and deliver 2,500 pizzas today.”
