Visit the charity's profileThe Khalsa Jatha, British Isles, London was formed in the year 1908, to promote religious and social activities among the Sikhs who had settled in the UK. In 1969 the Jatha moved into 62 Queensdale Road, Holland Park, London, W11 4SG, where the Gurdwara still stands today as the oldest Sikh Institution in the UK. The Gurdwara since 2013 has made slow progress with basic maintenance and we have witnessed deterioration in the general structure of the Sikh Temple. It is a historical place for all the Sikhs in London as it is the oldest established Sikh place of worship.This historical Gurdwara has been a place of homage and patronage by many renowned individuals from Sikh history: Professor Teja Singh, His Highness Maharajah Bhupinder Singh, of Patiala, Khushwant Singh (author, historian and writer), Shaheed Udham Singh and Sant Fateh Singh.As well as fulfilling its central role as place of worship the Gurdwara has evolved and the future generations are encouraged to carry on the vision and ideology of the founding fathers into the next century instilling within them a sense of belonging and community pride that these Sikhs had fought so hard to establish.We need to preserve its history as a place of worship for present and future generations and maintain a place of worship to bring the community together and support others. Once fully re-furbished to modern standards with good facilities, it will cater for the needs of the local communities and the Sikh community for many generations.This initiative has been undertaken by The Virdee Foundation and we would like for everyone to take part in this monumental phase since the Gurdwara’s existence. In order to meet our mission in doing God’s work and serving our community to a high standard, it is our humble request to call upon your generosity to support to see this refurbishment through to fruition.
