Sikhs from the Newcastle region have had to travel to Sydney for important religious events and births, deaths, and marriages. Sikh Sangat Charitable Association Newcastle was founded in November 2020 to address the many issues faced by the Sikh community in the Newcastle region. It was registered as a charitable organization in April 2021.
Initially, the association started by hosting weekly Sikh congregations (Sangat).
In April this year, we coordinated with Sikh Volunteers Australia (a Victoria-based organization that provides free food for the homeless and during times of emergency). As part of the collaboration, our organization provided facilities and coordinated to distribute free meals twice a day and other essential items to the flood-affected region in Taree. The organization will seek to continue working on projects like these especially in the local community and when and/or where there is a greater need.

Sikhism is a monotheistic religion that originated in the late 15th century in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. Guru Nanak Dev Ji (20 October 1469 - 7 May 1539) is the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. He was born in the village of Talwandi, now called Nankana Sahib, near Lahore in present-day Pakistan. It was established and developed by ten Gurus during the period 1469 to 1708. Sikhs regard the ten Gurus not as divine, but as enlightened teachers through whom God revealed his will.
