Network of Sikh Organisations (NSO)

The Network of Sikh Organisations is a UK charity linking more than 130 gurdwaras and Sikh organisations across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It is one of the two main umbrella bodies for UK Sikhi alongside Sikh Council UK. [source: nsouk/home-2026-05-02.html]

For families arranging an Antam Sanskar, NSO is one route to find a local gurdwara, particularly outside the well-known Sikh population centres of West London, the West Midlands, Gravesend, Glasgow, and Belfast. NSO also operates the Sikh Helpline UK (sikhhelpline.com, 0845 644 0704 or 07999 004363), which includes confidential bereavement support.

NSO is a representative and signposting body, not an operational funeral service; the local gurdwara remains the practical lead.
