Aiksaath (England)
The words ‘Aik Saath’ mean ‘Together As One’ in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. They also embody the ethos of our charity- we believe in working together to prevent violence and hatred and to strengthen our community. Aik Saath was established in response to gang violence between young people from Asian backgrounds in Slough in the late 1990s. The founders of our organisation believed that young people needed to lead the efforts to resolve this conflict and over 19 years later young people are still leading our efforts to build peace and encourage cohesion in our communities.
