The Sikh Ethos
The athos of Sikh Gurdwara is centred on recognition of the complete equallty of all human beings, including
the full equality of women, and a total commitrnent to a life of service to God through Servi￿ to His Creation.
This in tum, requires Sikh to work for personal self- improvement, while at the same time striving for social
justice for all people. In the closing words of our Ardas,'Sarbatkabhalla' (the well-being of all). It is therefore
important that the ethos of our Gurdwara is reflective and supportive of what it means to be a Sikh.
Whilè our religion respects the intsgrity and equality of all people, and respects and supports the right of
freedom of worship, the path of Sikhism has its own discipline and commitment, whith requires a distinctive
Sikh ethos in our Gurdwara.
An important part of our faith is 'SEWA' an act of 'Selfless Service, towards others., this takes the torm of
various initiatives and adivilies either as an individual or collectively with the community.
Gurdwara Activities
The Gurdwara is open to public seven days a week for daily & evening ServI￿S with the main activities taking
place on Sunday Five key festivals are celebrated periodically throughout the year Members of all
communities are encouraged to leam more about Sikhism and partiCiP*e in aclivities as appropriate.
The Gurdwara facilttales Birth, Marriage and funeral services in accordan￿ to bolh UK clvil law and Sikh
Rehat Maryada (code of Sikh conduct).

activities for the Sikh community with extemal partners. The Gurdwara facilitates public visits from Schools,
Teathers, Police, MP'S, NHS and other Servi￿ providing agencies l organisations and residents. The

Accounting policles
Basis of preparation
These financial stat8ments have been prepared under the historical cost basis and in accordance with
the Charities Act 2011 and relaled Regulalions. Ihe Statement of Recommended Practi￿ "Accounling
and Reporting by Charities" issued in January 2015 and applicable accounting standards.
As the charity's level of income is below £250,0(J) the management committèe has opted for the
accounts to be prepared in a receipts and payment basis eX￿pt in respect of payments for fixed
assets and capital grants. This is in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines for small
char*ties and is seen as more appropriate for this project.
Fund Accounting
Incoming resources that may b8 applied for the charities general purposes are treated as unrestricted
incoming resources and are credited to the unrestricted fund.
Where a donation or gRnt is required to be used for a 5pec¢fic purpose, the amount concemed is
treated as reslricted income and is credited to the appropriate restricted fund.
1.3 Tangible Fixed Assets
The freehold GU￿wara building and Community Centre are stated at cost plus capitalised additions.
No depreciation is provided as the trustees consider that this remains a fair reflection of current value.
Trustees remuneration, benefits and expenses
There were no trustees, remuneration or other benefits for the yèar ended 30th September 2023 nor for
the year ended 30th September 2022.
