Jaswinder Singh (Sikh)
Sat Nam! My journey began on the most amazing month of the year (July!!) in Slough. Then at the age of 6 I moved to Geordie land, I absolutely love the North East - it’s aptly named God’s country.
I was born into a Punjabi-cultured family who got the chance to experience the best of both worlds (East and West). I grew up working in the family business of real estate, alongside managing retail stores across the Tyne and Wear region. I gained many skills such as managing and organising, but for me, the most important skill I learnt was connecting with the human race. As I would meet customers and people first hand I realised I could connect with people through listening and understanding. There was a sudden realisation that there is a longing from so many people to be loved and treated with compassion and respect.
Today I am fortunate to be able to serve many people and organisations that are brought my way in the UK and abroad. I have been lucky to have the resources and means to help set up projects to educate and create awareness about the Sikh way of life.
If there is any way I can be of service to you whether it be just to have someone to talk to then please get in touch.
It really is a privilege to be part of the chaplaincy team in this vibrant university!
