Food for the soul Abbas Khan looks every inch the trainee chef in his uniform. The black-and white outfit sets off his pearly white but shy smile perfectly. No one would be able to guess that the 22-year-old has a long history of aggression, flitting from one boys’ home to…

Year Of Woman 2015 As part of our on-going initiatives this year we are focussing on women. 2015 will be the Year of Women, aiming to give young women from underprivileged backgrounds a voice. Working with young women, CSSG has that they often have no role models to inspire them…

“I met Anand through a very dear friend of mine and fellow chef April Bloomfield. Through Anand I learnt about the phenomenal work the Creative Services Support Group does. Giving opportunities to young men and women from less fortunate backgrounds is a phenomenal cause. I look forward to be able to support them now and in the future. Their work allows these young men and women to pursue a career and having a meaningful life in which they are able to give back to society some of the opportunities CSSG has given them. I am thrilled to be an Ambassador for such an important cause close to my heart.”

“I have known about CSSG since their first fund raising event in 2011. Over the years I have got to know them better. The work and dedication they have on providing opportunities to young men and woman is phenomenal. It has been an honour to be able to support such a powerful initiative and utilise the creative sectors to help those less fortunate than us. On a more personal note I have found Anand Kapoor to be one of the few people I know who is focussed, dynamic and determined to make a change through the charity. It is important that we support such initiatives as CSSG in any way we can as this has the potential to make a massive change to the way we view poverty in India.”

“Rashima and I have supported CSSG’s initiatives since 2011 there are few organisations that are creatively rethinking vocational training in the same way that CSSG is. Instead of viewing vocational training as a short-term solution to youth unemployment by quickly training young adults for repetitive work on an assembly line, CSSG guides students towards a long-term solution by training underprivileged young men and woman for a career that is worthwhile, challenging, and intrinsically interesting. By providing them with the opportunity to develop tangible skills for long lasting careers in a variety of fast-growing sectors and beyond teaching students literacy and arithmetic, CSSG foster in the youth they work with the ability to think originally and creatively about a wide range of issues in a myriad of rewarding careers. They go beyond teaching the proverbial man to catch a fish; they nurture youths’ innate creativity, giving them the ability to rethink, reinvent, and disrupt the entire” fishing” industry”

CEO, Art Equity

“I was told about CSSG through a friend and was asked if I would like to help. When I became aware of the wonderful job that this Charity was doing, I knew I had to be involved. Not only does CSSG provide support financially and emotionally, it provides skills that can be used by beneficiaries into adulthood – skills that not only allow them to follow a career, defend for themselves but importantly build self-esteem by being a contributing participant in the community. I am humbled to be part of this great initiative”

Deputy Managing Director at L’Opera (French Bakery Pvt. Ltd.)

“CSSG is such a dynamic organization. We have worked closely with CSSG since their inception when we conducted a round of open interviews at one of the homes they work with for their career day. As a result we took on a young man who initially came to us for training but has since been offered a full time position. What CSSG does is increasingly necessary in this day and age. Most of the young men and woman they work with are left without any true opportunities to progress in life. CSSG’s initiatives encapsulate our strong ethos to support the wider community and help those around us. One of the key qualities that sets CSSG apart from other agencies working in this field is their sustained efforts to walk the path of integration – the accompaniment and interface between us and the young men has proved crucial to the success and learning for all parties. We at L’Opéra are encouraged to continue supporting and walking the path of transformation with CSSG”

CSSG has laid a broad, strong foundation for a prosperous economy with the aim of arming under privileged with essential skills of securing a job they love and leading a dignified life. It was an honour and a privilege to be part of this wonderful initiative and look forward to many more such opportunities to work with Anand. Kudos to Anand and team for conceptualizing such an endeavour, giving the folks a chance to dream and importantly, making those dreams come true! My best wishes and full support to the team!

“Coming from a city like Sydney it is very difficult to comprehend the scale of poverty in India. Seen against this background CSSG’s charitable efforts are phenomenal. It is easy to forget that such a large number of young men and woman have nothing and have few opportunities open to them. Whilst I was in India it struck me that CSSG’s initiative is so simple yet so powerful a tool that can really change the lives of these young men and woman. It is amazing that such an initiative had not been set up before in India. Using the modern creative sectors to make a change in a fast developing country makes absolute sense to me and CSSG deserves strong kudos for their achievements. India is a country with extremes and to bring together these two dichotomies through food is a worthy venture. CSSG took us to visit some of the young men and woman they help. It was truly an eye opener and placed into context the work CSSG does. They truly have my support and I am happy to make available to them any help I am able to provide.”

Believe me… Anand Kapoor and his team at The Creative Services Support Group (‘CSSG’) are never short of energy, creativity and persistence to conceptualize and execute new and ambitious ways to support underprivileged young adults in India and raise funds for the cause. As a sponsor in 2013, I was impressed by the passion, the professionalism and more importantly, the transparency of the team.
