Asha’s Charitable Work

As part of our ongoing responsibility and commitment to play an active role in the Birmingham community, Asha’s is delighted to be actively supporting the excellent work undertaken by the Bond Wolfe Charitable Trust.

The primary focus of the Trust is to raise funds for a range of worthy causes that help people from all walks of life.

Over the years, we have supported in excess of 550 charities. You can read about just a few of the charities we have helped below.

Bond Wolfe Charitable Trust in conjunction with Asha’s Restaurant make donation.

BWCT in conjunction with Asha’s Restaurant donated £500 towards the Diwali Basket Brigade 2023 appeal, whose objective is to pack and deliver food hampers to vulnerable families and individuals from all faiths and backgrounds across the UK. This year, they packed and delivered 4,250 hampers to socially deprived and vulnerable families across Birmingham, London, Manchester and Leicester. “This was only possible thanks to generous donations and support for our initiative from the likes of the Bond Wolfe Charitable Trust and Asha’s Restaurant. We are so humbled and grateful for your continued support and for that we wanted to simply say thank you”.

Bringing Light to Children’s Departments

The Bond Wolfe Charitable Trust, in conjunction with Asha’s Restaurant have donated £500 towards the University Hospitals Birmingham Charity, to bring Diwali to the Children’s Departments over their 4 hospitals in Birmingham. The donation will help light up the wards and offer activities throughout the festive Diwali period to children and their families. “Sadly, we have many children who are in hospital during Diwali when their families would usually be celebrating. As lights are key to the Diwali celebrations, being able to provide these at the hospitals will help bring the festivities to the children and their families, bringing an element of normality to a very difficult and stressful time. We would like to thank Bond Wolfe and Asha’s Restaurant for their generous donation” - UHBC

This year we are proud to be supporting UHBC Children's Appeal

Across the four hospitals supported by UHBC, over 100,000 children are treated every year, with life debilitating and life-limiting conditions. The Children’s Appeal exists to support children across their hospitals during their treatment. Being in hospital can be an incredibly scary time for adults, for children, it can be overwhelming. The UHBC Children’s Appeal aims to support children by making their time in hospital a little more comfortable, less daunting, and create a child friendly environment.

In 2022, we were proud to support the UHBC Young Persons Unit

Throughout 2022, we have been proud to support the University Hospitals Birmingham Charity, raising funds for the Young Persons Unit through our company fundraising activities. Company fundraising is a great way for businesses to give back to their communities and support important causes. Fundraising can take many forms and there are many ways to get involved.

Massive thank you from all of us at CoachBright!”

Diwali on the Square

It's always a pleasure to welcome West Midlands Mayor Andy Street to Asha's and an even greater pleasure to be able to present him with a cheque to West Midlands Combined Authority who again joined forces with the Consulate General of India to hold a spectacular free event to celebrate the Festival of Lights in Birmingham’s Victoria Square. Diwali on the Square was yet again a huge success with singing, dancing, live performers and delicious food. We would like to thank all of our customers for their generous donations which enables us to support events and charities across the West Midlands and beyond.

It’s been a challenging twelve months for us, with the pandemic adding increased pressure on women experiencing domestic abuse, and demand for our services at an all-time high, so this will go a long way to supporting women and children who we’re working with”.

Birmingham Central Foodbank

“To all who’ve donated financially to Birmingham Central Foodbank, we want to say a truly heartfelt, THANK YOU. Currently, financial donations are used to buy food supplies to supplement the shortfall in food donations. We don’t know what food will be donated and we often need to buy essential items in order to distribute to vulnerable people and families in need of support. Your generous donation will profoundly impact those who are struggling within our local community, and for that, we are extremely grateful for your kindness. From all at Birmingham Central Foodbank, and those whom we serve, Thank you!”

Help Harry Help Others

The Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) charity was started by Harry Moseley before he lost his battle with cancer in 2011, aged just 11 years old. Harry was a young, courageous boy who became a major fundraiser in the fight to beat brain tumours. The registered charity, which supports cancer families in Solihull and Birmingham, was established in 2012 by Harry’s mum, Georgie. Due to the impact that cancer had on their family, Georgie decided to continue with Harry’s incredible work so that she could help other families where she felt more support was needed.
