It promotes networking, education and volunteering amongst Sikh professionals and provides a platform for engagement with the British Sikh community.[1]

History

City Sikhs was launched in London in October 2010 by a group of Sikh professionals.[2] The idea for the organisation came about after the founder of City Sikhs, Param Singh became friends with Dhruv Patel OBE, the founder of the City Hindus Network through a leadership training programme they both attended [3]. As of 2018 the organisation has over 7,000 members and is the largest Sikh organisation in the UK and Europe.

City Sikhs is a member of the Faiths Forum [4] and has worked with a variety of organisations including City Hindus Network,[5] Deloitte Diversity Networks,[6] National Sewa Day,[7] the Faith and Belief Forum (formerly Three Faiths Forum), Limmud,[8] the Islamic Society of Britain,[9] and The Football Association [10]
