WHY HAVE WE ORGANISED THIS EVENT? Our aim is to bring Sikhs across the region together for a fun family day.
– We have all talked about Sikhi and community spirit. We have expressed concerns that the community does not pull together as ?one? as we once did.
– We have all said at some point ?we are too busy, our children are getting older they have school clubs and activities to attend; all we seem to be doing is going to work and back home?.
As Parents we have all worried about the next generation being disengaged from Sikh religion and/or our culture. We all talk about our childhood and our parents talk of the great community spirit that used to exist. We all had more time to visit and spend quality time with friends and family.
Huddersfield Sikh Youth is a group of volunteers who are trying with your support to bring together Sikh children, friends and families. To re-ignite the ?Golden Thread? which ties us all to one another from all ages from the youngest new born to the oldest and most respected in our communities, from all genders and all backgrounds.
We have decided to host a Northern Sikh Mela which is for Sikh families only, to start a process where we can all come together and celebrate our Sikh community. We wish you to be a part of this event and help us promote what we know you already do locally namely, to promote Sikhi values to others in the community, supporting others and strengthening community ties.
If you wish to have a stall, display or arrange an activity then please contact us urgently as your involvement and support are welcome.
