Sikh Society
WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH!
The Cardiff University Sikh Society is a community for students who follow or are interested in the Sikh faith. We are a group that promotes inclusivity, unity, and service, embodying the core Sikh principles of seva (selfless service), sarbat da bhala (well-being of all), and equality. Whether you're Sikh or simply curious about the Sikh faith and culture, you are welcome to join us!

Our society offers a wide range of activities and events to bring the Sikh and wider student community together. These include:
Langar on Campus:
Weekly Trips to the Gurdwara:
- We organize weekly visits to the Gurdwara located on Pearl Street, giving members the chance to participate in community worship and connect with the local Sikh community.
Collaborations with Other Universities:
- We frequently collaborate with Sikh societies from other universities such as Bristol and Swansea, holding joint events, socials, and charity drives to build a larger, interconnected Sikh community.
Regular Socials:

Why We Do It
Our mission is to provide a welcoming space where students can explore and engage with Sikhi while making meaningful connections (a home away from home). We aim to promote Sikh values of equality, selfless service, and community welfare through our events and initiatives. Whether you're looking to practice your faith or learn more about Sikh culture, we want to make sure everyone feels part of our extended family.
