A new chapter of unity and service has begun for the Sikh community in the United Kingdom and Europe. With the blessings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), Sri Amritsar Sahib, has officially opened its UK & Europe Coordination Centre at Khalsa Panth Academy, Cramp Hill, Walsall.
This historic step strengthens the bridge between the Sikh Sangat living abroad and the sacred institutions of Punjab. The initiative brings the spirit of Sikhi, Seva, and Panthic unity closer to the hearts of Sikhs across Europe.
A Step Towards Global Connection
For decades, the Sikh community across the UK and Europe has longed for a direct and organised way to connect with the SGPC and the holy Takht Sahibs in India. The new Coordination Centre has now made that dream a reality. It serves as a one-stop facility to assist Sangat with spiritual, cultural, and logistical needs connected to our sacred heritage.
Through this Centre, Sangat can now easily book accommodation (Sarai) at all five Takht Sahibs — Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Takht Sri Patna Sahib, Takht Sri Hazur Sahib, and Takht Sri Damdama Sahib — without the need for travel agents or complex procedures.
In addition to Sarai bookings, the Centre also provides direct access for Akhand Paath Sahib bookings and Nishaan Sahib Seva at these holy sites. This new system ensures that overseas Sangat can take part in these sacred sevas with full transparency and ease, staying closely connected to their roots.
Service with Simplicity
The UK & Europe Coordination Centre is not just an office — it is a bridge of faith and love between the global Sikh community and Sri Amritsar Sahib. It reflects SGPC’s ongoing mission to make spiritual services more accessible to Sikhs worldwide while upholding the true spirit of Seva and equality.
To make things even simpler, Sangat can now make all bookings online through the official website:
