WARRINGTON North MP Charlotte Nichols teamed up with members of the local Sikh community to hand out free langar (food) in the town centre.
The Sikh faith hold the belief that food is a fundamental need for all of humanity—a sacred gift that connects us as equals, regardless of caste, creed, or background. Sharing a meal through langar is not just about nourishment; it’s an act of love and humility that reflects the oneness of humanity.
Spokesperson Baljeet Gill said: “This kind of kindness has the power to eradicate hate, as it breaks barriers and reminds us of our shared humanity. It’s a step toward a better, more compassionate world, where understanding and care take the place of division and prejudice. Through this selfless service, we embody the values of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.”
Meanwhile Ms Nichols said: “After a day’s UK Parliament Week school visits, it was wonderful to join Guru Nanak Gurdwara Warrington and Making A Difference Locally to help prepare hundreds of meals for giving out to the community in Warrington. Under Balbir’s tutelage, we prepared Rajma Masala for the homeless, the Youth Zone, and for all passers-by in the town centre who wanted to share a free, warm meal on a bitterly cold evening.
“Langar is a key tenet of Sikhism and I’m so grateful for all the Gurdwara volunteers who run the kitchen year round, living their faith in action and helping ensure no-one goes hungry. It’s a truly beautiful thing .”
