We believe that community support and seva are essential values within Sikhi. Alongside youth programmes and cultural activities, we regularly organise initiatives that focus on kindness, unity, and supporting local families. 

One of our recent community initiatives, 'Sharing Food, Spreading Love', was organised in Whangārei as a free food support event for local families and individuals. Through this initiative, community members were invited to collect essential items including milk, bread, and butter in a welcoming and supportive environment. The event reflected the Sikh principles of seva (selfless service), equality, and community care, values that continue to guide our organisation and inspire our youth. 

We are grateful to the volunteers, supporters, and local community members who contributed their time and effort to help make the initiative possible. Events like these remind us of the importance of standing together, supporting one another, and creating positive change through collective action.

We hope to continue organising meaningful projects that encourage compassion, social responsibility, and active community engagement among younger generations.

Whangārei Sikh Youth Club continues to support and organise programmes that strengthen spiritual connection, community unity, and Sikh learning within the local sangat.

One of our recent community gatherings was a special Kirtan Darbar programme held in Whangārei in remembrance of the Shaheedi (martyrdom) month of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The event brought together members of the local Sikh community for an evening of Gurbani Kirtan, spiritual reflection, and sangat.

The programme included kirtan and katha led by respected Sikh speakers and ragis, including Bhai Bachittar Singh Ji Anmol (NZ Wale), creating a peaceful and welcoming environment for sangat of all ages. Families and youth from across the community attended to listen, reflect, and participate together in remembrance and prayer.

Events such as these play an important role in helping younger generations stay connected to Sikh teachings, Gurbani, and community traditions while strengthening the spirit of unity within the local Sikh community.

We remain committed to supporting religious, cultural, and educational initiatives that encourage learning, seva, and engagement with Sikhi in meaningful and accessible ways.

Whangārei Sikh Youth Club has proudly supported and promoted a range of spiritual and community centred programmes that bring the local sangat together through Gurbani, Sikh teachings, and collective reflection.

As part of a wider New Zealand tour, the local Sikh community welcomed respected Sikh preacher and spiritual speaker Jathedar Sant Baba Avtar Singh Ji Sursingh Wale during a special visit to Auckland and surrounding communities.

The gathering provided an opportunity for members of the sangat to come together for spiritual discussion, Gurbani vichaar, and religious engagement rooted in Sikh values and tradition. Community members from different age groups attended to listen, reflect, and participate in the welcoming of the visiting Sikh figure.

Programmes such as these continue to play an important role in strengthening spiritual awareness and preserving Sikh traditions within diaspora communities, while also encouraging younger generations to stay connected to Sikhi and the wider sangat.

We remain committed to supporting events that encourage unity, learning, faith, and community participation across New Zealand’s Sikh communities.
