Visiting a Gurdwara should always be a positive, safe & welcoming experience for everyone.
By staying aware of our surroundings, looking out for one another & reporting suspicious behaviour when concerns arise, we can help protect our places of worship and the sangat they serve.

Sikh MP’s and staff got together in Parliament to read Japji Sahib Paath & join in Ardas prayer for wellbeing of all in the year ahead.

Detailed painstaking work by the National Sikh War Memorial Trust has been ongoing.
Grateful for all your support and patience.
With our collective will and determination, we will surely soon realise the ambition to commemorate the incredible sacrifices of those Sikh soldiers.
Privileged to be at the @RoyalAlbertHall last night for the #FestivalofRemembrance@PoppyLegion.
It was important to honour the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, a conflict that saw Undivided #India raise the largest volunteer Army the world has seen - 2.5 million-strong.
Powerful stories of military families provided a backdrop to an emotional evening.

An historic day at Wellington Barracks 🇬🇧 — the launch of the @1914_Sikhs Ceremonial Marching Troop, honouring the courage, service, and sacrifice of Sikh soldiers so they are never forgotten.
Humbled to serve as the first Troop Captain ⚔️🫡 #Sikh#1914Sikhs#BritishArmy
This is so awesome.
The Sikh regiments played an oversized role in the Imperial Army for centuries.
It was Sikh regiments who relieved the Canadian Army at the Second Battle of Ypres.
A proud martial tradition which many Sikhs continue in the @CanadianArmy today.
My question to the Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls regarding the grooming gangs enquiry.
The grooming enquiry must not be watered down, particularly the focus on grooming gangs and ethnicity, including models of grooming where groomers focused on ethnicity of victims be they white working class girls or Sikh girls.
This week, I questioned the Prime Minister about ensuring security at all places of worship remains a priority,
Britain’s role and the pragmatic approach required to deliver a two-state solution in the Middle East, and further progress on trade deals that benefit the people of the UK.
Thank you for your continued support @TanDhesi and @gsjosan, for the @GurdwaraAid Handbook and the for work the organisation does in assisting #Gurdwara & #Sikh Charities
