About GNGSS

Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Preston, Lancashire, holds a significant place in the history of the Sikh community in the region. Founded in August 1966, it was one of the first Gurdwaras to be established in Lancashire, serving as a spiritual and cultural hub for Sikhs in the area.

The establishment of Guru Nanak Gurdwara marked a pivotal moment for the Sikh community in Preston and the wider Lancashire region. In the 1960s, as many Sikhs immigrated to the UK, there was a growing need for a place where they could gather, worship, and maintain their cultural and religious traditions. Recognizing this need, the Sikh community in Preston came together to establish a Gurdwara, dedicated to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism.

The Gurdwara quickly became a central part of the community’s life, offering a place not only for prayer and meditation but also for education and social gatherings. It served as a beacon of faith, providing spiritual guidance and support to Sikhs and welcoming people of all backgrounds to learn about the Sikh religion and participate in its practices.

Over the years, Guru Nanak Gurdwara has continued to grow and evolve, reflecting the changing needs of the community. It has expanded its facilities and services, becoming a vibrant centre for religious, cultural, and charitable activities. The Gurdwara plays a crucial role in preserving Sikh heritage in Lancashire, ensuring that the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji continue to inspire and guide future generations.

Today, Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Preston stands as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the Sikh community in Lancashire, symbolizing their commitment to maintaining their religious identity while contributing to the multicultural fabric of British society.
