During the 1980s a number of young Sikhs went on field trips to London museums and places of Anglo-Sikh interest up and down the country organised by SCYS (Sikh Community and Youth Service), Nottingham.
Nearly three decades later, these Sikhs, pioneer to tell the British-Sikh version of their heritage in a modern setting.
The core team has a local and national presence from West Midlands, Warwickshire, London, West Yorkshire and East Midlands.
The strategy of leaving a hard legacy to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (Sikh holy scriptures) has been achieved by the creation of the first National Sikh Museum.
Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Derby has catalysed this energy and commitment to setup the first National Sikh Heritage Centre and Holocaust Museum.
Our agenda is simple and unbias –to conserve, preserve, interpret, promote and inspire the special British-Sikh relationship like never before.
We do this not to relish in personal glory or satisfy political agendas, we do this because we want to make a difference.
Enjoy !
