The Nishkam Civic Association (NCA) was established in 2003. The organisation was charged with the task of developing a dynamic Sikh faith inspired civic agenda.
Their approach
"draws upon the universal values of empowerment, self -reliance and inclusivity, incorporating active learning, selfless volunteering, partnership working, and cultural sensitivity"
They strive
"for originality and innovation, driven by the principle of working from whole to part, ever conscious of the impact of our thinking, attitudes and actions have on the ‘bigger picture’ of the life and environment that we share with others."
