CgFE71Eg4E41482UE6F-15669AE30851 GNNSJ London - Vision GNNSJ London was established on the 13th March 1980 and has grown from serving the local Sikh faith to supporting 3 large and flourishing community, which undertakes extensive local charitable work. On a weekly basis the Gurudwara currently serves approximately 5,200 congregation members. In order to accommodate the growing congregation the base grew from a single residential property to a multitude of adjoining Struttures. The athievements of NSWL through the on-going and ever-strengthening partnerships with parents. volunteers and the local community ensured that the school succeeded even when it was housed in temporary site (September 2013 July 20181 for longer than anticipated. Dedicated volunteers adapted the internal and external space to ensure that the 350 students had the best possible facilities available to them. Without this immense contribution from the local community and volunteers. and the understanding and patience of parents and staff, it would have been impossible to remain at the temporary site without depleting school resources on basic building works alone. It is proposed to demolish and completety redevelop the Gurudwara with a design keeping in with traditional Sikh architecture. This will provide a state- of-the art, purpose-built facility serving the needs of the local community. It is also proposed to create a large underground carpark as part of the development to alleviate parkin8 pressures on neighbourinB streets. Before the school moved to the new site in Osterley. in September 2018, a large volunteer effort to clean and landscape the site perimeter took place. The estimated cost of this volunteer effort surpassed £25,000. GNNSJ London's vision is to redevelop the existing facilities which provide for a site capable of further benefitting neighboring and wider communities. Given the size and complexity of the project, it could take several year5 to achieve planning permission and further construct the new site. NSWL is fast becoming an integral part of the local community. providing high standard educational opportunities for local children and employment opportunities for local resident5. It also provide5 Space for several or8anisations including community gfOUPS to use the facilities out of hours.
