Sikh Council UK launched at Parliamentary event

The Sikh Council UK was formally launched on 22nd June.  The Council is a national body that represents a common platform on which the Sikh community can develop a collective agenda in order to achieve its economical, educational, cultural and social aspirations working with the UK Government and European institutions.

The Council Profile can be downloaded here and here.

This is the first time all the large Sikh Gurdwaras and leading Sikh organisations that represent the grassroots of the community across the UK have come under a single platform in order to ensure a consistent approach to addressing key issues affecting Sikhs in the UK and Europe.

The Sikh Council provides a unique structure and a new approach by bringing together Sikhs representing the grassroots. It aims to draw upon the range of skills and expertise within the community and provide a framework for a transparent sustainable infrastructure for the long term benefit of the Sikh community.

Sikhs are very well integrated into British society, actively involved in interfaith and cross cultural understanding through education and participation.
