AMURT UK
AMURT UK ( England) was founded in June 1986. AMURT stands for Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team and UK denotes our location. ‘Ananda’ means ‘bliss’ and Marga ‘path’ in Sanskrit. AMURT UK’s projects in the UK consist of the homeless feeding programme, the Breakfast Kitchen and English classes in Liverpool and the Food For All health food shop, a not-for-profit limited company, health food store and herbal dispensary, the proceeds of which are donated to AMURT UK to allocate as small grants to projects in need.
AMURT UK is a grassroots disaster relief and community development organisation. We work with local communities to relieve the immediate suffering of those affected by disaster and crises and help them move on with their lives through community building activities.
In the UK AMURT’s projects focus on feeding the homeless, food waste, healthy eating and support to refugees and asylum seekers. We have homeless feeding programmes in London and Liverpool, drop in English classes for asylum seekers in Liverpool and the Food For All health food shop and herbal dispensary, a trading company that donates its profits back to AMURT UK.
We also partner with AMURT chapters internationally which respond to the specific needs and challenges of their local areas.
