Valerie Visits 10 Downing Street for Community Celebration

On 8 April 2025 I was delighted to join in celebrations with members of the Sikh community amongst other guests at No10 Downing Street ahead of Vaisakhi celebrations. I attended with a constituent Louis Gill from Pleck.

Vaisakhi marks the founding of the Khalsa in 1699, and No10 was adorned with flowers and candles. There was a performance from young people who sang.  

The Prime Minister spoke to guests about the generosity of Gurdwaras across the UK: “A visible sign of the values of Sikhism – of compassion and courage, but also of service – or seva”
