Introducing Nishkam Centre - Faith & Community

The Nishkam Centre in Birmingham is a great example of how collaborations and partnerships can really benefit community.  


Here we showcase the inspirational work carried out at the Nishkam Centre, introduce you to the people who make the Nishkam Centre so effective and provide through links and posts, information that you can use to connect and collaborate.

The Nishkam Civic Association (NCA) was established in 2003.  The organisation was charged with the task of developing a dynamic Sikh faith inspired civic agenda.

Their approach

"draws upon the universal values of empowerment, self -reliance and inclusivity, incorporating active learning, selfless volunteering, partnership working, and cultural sensitivity" 

They strive

"for originality and innovation, driven by the principle of working from whole to part, ever conscious of the impact of our thinking, attitudes and actions have on the ‘bigger picture’ of the life and environment that we share with others."
