New Site update
November 2024
The SGSS Gurdwara in Reading has made major strides in refurbishing its new site at 612 Reading Road. Volunteers from the Sadh Sangat community have dedicated weekends to clear out old structures, saving around £50,000 in labor costs and raising £10,000 through recycling. Completed floor plans, reflecting community feedback, are now available online. Plans for essential upgrades to ensure energy efficiency are estimated to cost £350,000–£400,000.
​
Renovations officially began in October 2024, with contractors chosen for specific parts of the project to optimize costs. Key tasks include installing over 200 solar panels, which will help offset energy costs, and updating windows, doors, and internal structures. Main work such as plumbing, heating, and kitchen installations is set for early 2025. Completion is targeted for summer 2025, though timelines may shift slightly to save costs.
​
To meet the £1.5 million budget, the Gurdwara needs an additional £500,000. The Board of Trustees invites the community to continue supporting this project through donations and non-interest loans. Contributions can be made via bank transfer, GoFundMe, or monthly direct debit. This project is a rare chance to create a sustainable, modern Gurdwara for all, and we ask the community to spread the word and help make this vision a reality.
