A DUNFERMLINE restaurant has donated £4,250 in total to various community groups this year alone. 

Dhoom Indian Streatery on New Row is committed to giving back to the community and has donated to dozens of local charitable causes and organisations since COVID. 

And they have no plans to slow down anytime soon as owner Prasad Dhaneswhar announces that they will now be making a monthly community contribution of £750 to a different local charity or group.

“We love to give back to the local community here at Dhoom,” said Prasad. “During COVID we donated over 500 free meals to front-line workers, and it’s all gone on from there.

"We’re now in a position to support a different organisation each month. We’re trying to cover a mix of activities and age groups, so that as many different types of activities are covered as possible.”

“We are very proud to have donated well over £4000 in the past few months, we know that this money will really help each and every organisation. We will do our best to keep this going on a rolling basis.

"I’d like to thank our customers, as we couldn’t do it without their support, ensuring that Dhoom is as busy as possible, especially at weekends.”

Most recently, Dhoom donated £750 to Dunfermline & Carnegie Cricket Club.

 DJ Dejesh, who has been the President of the Club since 2022, said: “We very much appreciate the sponsorship from Dhoom, which is one of Dunfermline – and Fife’s - most successful brands.

"Who wouldn’t want to be associated with this successful, vibrant business which gives back to its community?

“The money will go towards continuing to develop the game in the East of Scotland, as well as running costs associated with looking after our ground at McKane Park. Whilst one of the very best grounds in Scotland, it can be expensive to properly maintain.

“We have members aged from six to sixty years here at this Club, which has a 167-year-old history.

"Currently playing in the East of Scotland Cricket Association League (ESCA) we are hoping for a very good season this summer. We look forward to continuing the relationship with Dhoom.”
