About Sikh Welfare Society
A small group of like-minded, benevolent people, established at their monthly networking meeting that the group was capable for helping the needy, especially in their native homeland. This led to the formation of Sikh Welfare Society, (SWS) and this charitable organisation was officially launched in 2008. Its first charitable work was delivered in April 2009. Subsequently, SWS is registered with The Charity Commission for England & Wales, (Reg Charity No.1155444) and therefore it is a duly regulated organisation.

In collaboration with local team of renowned specialists’ doctors and health care professionals, medical camps are organised annually, to restore eyesight of needy people by means of cataract surgeries, eye drops, post-surgery care, prescription glasses.
