Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara -History
Sikhs have been settling in Leicester since the end of the Second World War. The opening of the Sikh Gurdwarasin Leicester, in 1960, reflects the growth of the cityโs Sikh population. By 2011, the Sikh population of the city had risen to 14,457, representing 4.4% of the cityโs population (compared to 0.8% nationally). This Sikh presence continues to contribute very significantly to the social, political and religious life of the city and is especially evident at the annual Vaisakhi celebrations, attracting thousands of people from across Leicester and the Midlands, to a march through the streets of the city centre.

๐ That's a wrap on another fantastic term at GTB Panjabi School- Braunstone Town Branch! ๐โจ
What a year it's been! We started with just 2 classes a week at the start of the academic year and, thanks to the incredible support from local families, we've expanded to 4 classes a week! We're so proud of how our new school has grown and of everything our students have achieved this year.
To celebrate all of their hard work, we finished the term 2 weeks ago with a well-deserved pizza party! ๐๐
We hope everyone has a wonderful summer. Our new term at Braunstone starts on Tuesday 25th August (Advanced) and Thursday 27th August (Beginners). We can't wait to w#panjabischoole#sikhi #communityi#LearningTogetherm#summerbreakningTogether #SummerBreak ... See MoreSee Less

โน50 Lakhs Pledged for Punjab Flood Relief & Long-Term Support ๐๐
When the floods devastated parts of Panjab, we pledged to raise โน50 lakhs- not only to provide immediate relief, but to support the long-term recovery and development of our homeland.
Over the last few months, members of the Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara, Leicester Management Committee and sewadaars have made two self-funded trips to Panjab, personally covering all travel and administrative costs so that 100% of the funds raised could go towards those in need.
Throughout this initiative, we have remained in close contact with trusted local organisations and volunteers on the ground to identify and reach families who needed support the most. During these visits, we have been blessed with the opportunity to support: Families affected by the floods, families of shaheeds, with no or little income and charitable organisations carrying out vital work to help communities recover and rebuild.
This seva would not have been possible without the generosity and trust of the Sangat. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered and supported this initiative.
These photos are a small glimpse of the impact your contributions have made. Together, we continue to stand with Panjab not just in times of crisis, but for its long-term future.
