From providing food and aid to flood victims to taking care of the refugees, volunteers from the Sikh faith have always been there to lend a helping hand and spread happiness.

Apart from the festive meals, there were carol singers, a DJ and a Santa which made special appearances. They also distributed Christmas presents to the homeless.

Randhir Singh, chief executive of the society told Birmingham Live, "Our main purpose is to serve humanity and serve hot meals to people less fortunate than ourselves, give out hats, clothes and warm clothing and give hope. A lot of people around this time of year start missing their families, they experience depression and the suicide rate is quite high as well."

Sharing his experience, Louise, a homeless man told Birmingham Live, "What they have done for us is amazing. I live on the streets and without this, I wouldn't have had a Christmas meal, the only way I could have had a hot meal would be by begging on the streets. I spent last night sleeping outside the station where the bikes are stored, it was freezing cold. It's amazing what they have done for the homeless," he further added.
