One Kind Act are delighted to announce their forthcoming event, Summer Garden Party 2021:

Post Event Update

25th August 2021

The OKA garden party this year surpassed all expectations. OKA trustee Mona and Raj Bhogal opened up their home, their beautiful garden and their hearts, paying for everything so that all monies raised including ticket sales would go directly to help those in desperate need.  

We were sold out and over-subscribed yet again!  Perhaps it was the post Covid zeitgeist.  Revellers ate, drank, danced, laughed and conversed all day and into the night under a warm summer sky. There was the sheer joy of being alive and together, a sadness at the thought of those lost and hearts full of love and compassion to help those suffering.   

Much to our joy and gratitude to our generous donors and supporters, an outstanding amount of £64,273 was raised!!! 

OKA will now be making grants to the following worthy Causes;  

Your One Wish: For a school in the small village of Adhi in Punjab, £20,000 for their School Project to refurbish and complete building of new classrooms and £4,500 to procure stationery and school uniforms for the children of 3 classes as well as feed almost 300 children for seven days.  

YUVA Unstoppable: For 3 government schools around India, £30,000 for their School Project to refurbish their classrooms and toilets and £13,500 to sponsor 9 children from very poor backgrounds in India with SIX years of education, mentoring and support through their university to their first job. Yuva Unstoppable to help towards refurbishing government schools and educating more of the bright but poor children in India and to Your One Wish to help to build primary school classrooms, refurbish and feed children in a poor village of Adhi, Punjab.

Event Details

It has been a testing year and we are delighted to announce a bright ray of sunshine this summer.   

The One Kind Act Garden Party is back on Saturday 21 August 2021, held in the large, beautifully landscaped grounds of a country home in Fulmer, Buckinghamshire. There will be a generous three course buffet, unlimited drinks all day, a live singer and a DJ.  This afternoon of relaxed fun will also include a raffle, an auction and lots of games like a golf putting competition with prizes.   

To make this a Covid-safe event, we ask that guests should present a recent negative test result, as can be shown on their NHS Covid-19 app. We will also be conducting lateral flow tests on the day, for a small donation if they wish, which will give results in minutes. We will adhere to all government guidelines as presented at the time of the event.

The full value of all ticket sales from the event will go towards selected causes.  Refunds will be offered if the event has to be cancelled due to government restrictions. 
We will be complying with government guidelines, so tickets are more limited this year and we urge you to book quickly.

The Garden Party is one of our most popular events and we look forward to offering you a safe but wonderful day again.
