Supporting families facing hardship

A Beacon of Hope

Connecting Boroughs charity led by the remarkable Queeny Singh, is on a mission to make a difference in the lives of families facing unimaginable challenges in North West London. Their work is a beacon of hope for those who are hungry, homeless, and in desperate need of support.

This is one of the reasons why Queeny has opened her support to other boroughs.

​

Queeny's Inspirational Journey

six years ago, Queeny found herself facing homelessness, a situation that seemed impossible to overcome. Placed in a family hostel in England’s Lane, Hampstead, she experienced a stark contrast between the apparent affluence of the neighborhood and the harsh reality inside the hostel.

​

This experience was deeply humbling and isolating for Queeny. She grappled with questions about how she had ended up in this situation and how she could provide a better life for her children.

​

Empathy in Action

However, amidst the challenges, Queeny's heart was stirred by the struggles of other single mothers in the hostel. These mothers had already faced adversity, often escaping abusive relationships or oppressive regimes as refugees. The hostel, meant to be a sanctuary, lacked the support these families desperately needed.

​

This realisation ignited Queeny's determination to help. She understood that sometimes, all it takes to make a difference is a lovingly-made hot meal and a caring presence - something the system often falls short of providing.

​

A Selfless Sacrifice

With her own resources, Queeny began preparing meals for families at the hostel, supporting up to 20 families at a time. Her selflessness and kindness were a lifeline for those in need. However, her funds eventually ran dry, and she faced a critical decision - how to continue supporting these families.

Community Comes Together

Quenny's indomitable spirit led her to reach out to local charities, community groups, and individuals for support. The response was nothing short of incredible. She managed to raise an impressive £16,000 for the families at the hostel and has provided assistance to 108 families who lived in the hostel.

​

These donations, meals, and essential supplies have been a lifeline for families facing adversity. However, the hostel's closure by the council and the subsequent relocation of families to distant places posed new challenges.

​

A Vision of Unity

Despite the hurdles, Connecting Boroughs, under Queeny's leadership, remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting families. Their vision is to strengthen the connections and relationships built over the last six years with local businesses, communities, and charities.

​

Connecting Boroughs' dedication is a shining example of the impact that one individual's kindness and determination can have on a community. Their story reminds us all that together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those in need.

​

As they continue this incredible journey of compassion, we invite you to follow their progress and join them in their mission.
