Guru Nanak Gurdwara Smethwick
Guru Nanak Gurdwara Smethwick is a Sikh place of worship in Smethwick, near Birmingham. It is one the largest and oldest Gurdwara's in Europe. Spanning a total area of about 70,000 square metres, the building is three storeys high. Building work commenced in the late 1990s and ever since the Gurdwara has been expanding in order to accommodate for Smethwick's growing Sikh community. Funding for the Gurdwara comes by way of donations from members of the local and national Sikh community. The Sikh Community from all over the Midlands first began holding religious services in a school in Brasshouse Lane, Smethwick, in 1958. This led to larger congregations of Sikh worshippers and the need arose to acquire more suitable premises for the Gurdwara. The Congregational Chapel building at 130 High Street, Smethwick, was purchased and the Gurdwara opening took place on 31 July 1961. The present Gurdwara premises are at the old church site but have been totally rebuilt and extended. In 2012, a £5million extension was completed making the Gurdwara Sahib much larger and more modern than before. The new building features a larger langar hall with a modern kitchen, lecture theatre, offices, classrooms, gym, function room and much more. Further extensive refurbishments were carried out in 2016, when the local press said that the Gurdwara attracted a weekly congregation of more than 10,000 people. Throughout the day Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji presides over the Sikh congregations. Thousands of Sikhs and non-Sikhs attend the Gurdwara Sahib to worship and visit the beautiful Gurdwara complex. Guru Ka Langar (free community kitchen) is served all day long every day throughout the year.

Vflex Sandwell exists to develop opportunities for young people aged 16-25 to volunteer in the Sandwell area. We work with organisations to help them develop fulfilling, challenging and fun one-off, part time and full time opportunities for young people. These placements must be of benefit to the wider community and should develop the young person involved through increased skills and employability, social skills, self esteem and confidence etc. We also seek to recruit young people for these opportunities and regularly visit schools, colleges, youth clubs etc for this purpose. As such we are both a brokerage for volunteering opportunities and a pioneer of new placements, in tandem with local organisations
