The company’s activities and impact During the financial year, Gurdwara Khalsa Darbar (Southampton Sikh Resource Centre) CIC has delivered a range of activities that have provided significant benefit to the local Sikh and wider Southampton community. 1. Place of Worship and Spiritual Services We continued to offer a dedicated space for prayer, religious ceremonies (including births, marriages, and funerals), and community gatherings. This has fostered a strong sense of belonging, spiritual support, and cultural continuity among members of the Sikh community. 2. Provision of Langar (Community Kitchen) Daily Langar services were maintained, offering free hot meals to all visitors, regardless of background or faith. This not only upheld the Sikh tradition of equality and service but also supported vulnerable individuals and families facing food insecurity during a period of rising living costs. 3. Education and Language Support We held regular Punjabi and English language classes for both youth and elders, along with educational sessions in Sikh studies, history, and Kirtan (devotional music). These sessions have enhanced cultural understanding, improved literacy, and supported intergenerational learning. 4. Resource Centre Services The Sikh Resource Centre provided tailored advice and support on a range of issues, including health, housing, welfare, employment, and education. We also assisted with translation services and helped individuals navigate government forms and access public services, especially those with limited English proficiency. 5. Health, Wellbeing and Community Integration Workshops were run on topics such as physical health, mental wellbeing, and work-life balance, all from a culturally sensitive and faith-informed perspective. We also engaged with schools and local organisations to promote community cohesion, tolerance, and interfaith understanding.
Stakeholder Consultation During the year, Gurdwara Khalsa Darbar (Southampton Sikh Resource Centre) CIC engaged with a variety of stakeholders who have a direct interest in the organisation's activities. These stakeholders include members of the local Sikh community such as elders, families, and youth, as well as non-Sikh residents who access our services like the Langar or community support. Volunteers, local schools, interfaith groups, and local authorities are also important stakeholders in our work. Consultation with stakeholders took place through community meetings, informal discussions at the Gurdwara, and feedback gathered during religious events and Langar services. We also received input through one-to-one conversations, particularly with elderly and vulnerable community members, and gathered comments from participants attending our language classes, workshops, and youth sessions. In addition, we maintained communication with local schools and partner organisations to assess the relevance and reach of our services. As a result of this ongoing engagement, we made several meaningful changes. For example, after receiving requests from elderly attendees, we introduced additional Punjabi language classes and made English sessions more accessible for beginners. Concerns raised about the rising cost of living led us to expand our Langar offering to include takeaway food packs during weekends for those in need. Feedback from younger members encouraged us to add more interactive and culturally engaging activities, including Kirtan classes and youth-led events. We also responded to suggestions from local schools and interfaith partners by hosting open house days at the Gurdwara to support greater cultural awareness and community integration.
