Derby Gurdwara Sahib

Hopefully other Gurdwaras will follow suit. These types of initiatives are much required in the West and more so in Punjab. Instead of shunning our brothers and sisters, they should be embraced and educated to follow the true path, without forcing it down their throats of course.

Events to help Sikhs in Derby struggling with alcohol and drug addiction

Workshops have been set up to help people in Derby cope with drugs and alcohol addiction.

Former alcoholic Jaz Rai has organised the events this weekend for those in the Sikh community in need of help to overcome their struggles.

All events take place at the Guru Arjan Dev Gurdwara, in Stanhope Street, Normanton, with an alcohol and drugs workshop from 4pm to 6pm on Saturday and a presentation and speaker session from 11am to 12.30pm on Sunday.

There are currently around 20,000 Sikhs living in Derby.

Hanji, hope the other Gurdwaras also have these events.

What would be a good idea is, if anybody reading this post is interested in this and wants to either take part themselves or for somebody they know would benefit from it, that they show this to their local Gurdwara and ask them to set up the same.
