with Trishala Lakhani: Giving back

Asian Network Motivation

Available for 47 days

This week on Asian Network Motivation, Trishala Lakhani dives into the true spirit of the season: giving back. From the small acts of kindness that change someone’s day to the powerful community traditions rooted in South Asian culture - seva, langar, prasad, volunteering - Trishala explores how generosity shapes who we are. Through personal stories, cultural reflections, and uplifting motivation, she unpacks why giving your time, skills, or support can be far more impactful than money alone. Plus, she shines a light on the incredible charities, kitchens, and community groups making a real difference across the UK. Produced in Birmingham by Voxwave for BBC Asian Network.
