At The Khalsa Jatha British Isles, Seva (selfless service) is a cornerstone of our community values and spiritual practice. Inspired by the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, we believe that true service transcends all boundaries and unites us in humility and love. Our Seva initiatives aim to support and uplift our community while promoting the principles of equality, compassion, and social justice.

Seva, or selfless service, is an integral part of Sikhism. It involves performing voluntary work for the benefit of others without any expectation of reward or recognition. This act of service is considered a way to connect with the divine, cultivate humility, and contribute positively to society.

At Khalsa Jatha British Isles, we offer a wide range of seva activities that welcome participation from individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Some of our key initiatives include:

Langar (Community Kitchen)

Our Langar is open to all, providing free, nutritious meals to anyone in need. Volunteers help prepare, cook, serve food and clean, embodying the spirit of equality and generosity.

Hot Meals Program

Our Langar outreach program packs hot meal food for delivery and collection to community organisations and events. 

Health and Wellness Camps

We organise regular health and wellness camps offering free medical check-ups, health education, and wellness activities. These camps are designed to promote holistic health within our community.

Environmental Initiatives

We are committed to preserving the environment through various green initiatives. These include community clean-up drives, plogging, tree planting events, and sustainability workshops.

Support for the Vulnerable

Our seva extends to supporting the homeless, refugees, and other vulnerable groups. We distribute essential supplies, offer shelter assistance, and provide support services to those in need.

Interfaith and Community Engagement

We actively participate in interfaith dialogue and community-building activities, fostering mutual respect and understanding among different cultural and religious groups.

Operational and Governance Support

Our seva programs are managed by a dedicated team of volunteers and staff members who ensure the smooth execution of all activities. Volunteers can assist in various operational roles, including event planning, logistics, volunteer coordination, and resource allocation. Khalsa Jatha British Isles operates under a clear governance framework to ensure transparency, accountability, and integrity in all our activities. Our governing body consists of experienced trustees and community leaders who provide strategic direction and oversight.
