While showing the group around on Tuesday (May 1), Amarjit Singh Atwal explained some of the facilities and projects it will house to meet the needs of communities in Northampton.

During the visit, CC Edens presented a £300 cheque to the Gurdwara for the Northampton branch of the Midland Langar Seva Society.

The project provides hot food, support, advice and clothing to homeless people in Northampton on Sunday evenings.

The £300 has been donated from the Police Mutual insurance company under their ‘force for good’ initiative and will be used to purchase equipment for the homeless project.
