Honouring a Legacy. Building for the Future.
Fauja Singh BEM inspired a generation of runners and showed the world what's possible at any age. The clubhouse will carry that spirit forward — a space where our community gathers, trains, and grows together, rooted in the values Fauja lived by.
Every donation helps us turn this vision into bricks, mortar, and belonging.

Words from Fauja Singh and the team
The following videos were recorded in 2019 and capture Fauja Singh speaking about the clubhouse vision and his hopes for the community. They are shared here to preserve his words and to show the origins of this project.
A place with meaning
The proposed clubhouse sits in the heart of Redbridge, steps from the streets and parks where our community trains every Sunday. It will be an eco-friendly, fully accessible home for running, wellbeing, and Sikh values in action.

Carrying Fauja Singh's Values Forward
Fauja Singh lived by service, humility, and the belief that age is no barrier to purpose. The clubhouse will embody those values — a welcoming space for every generation to run, gather, and give back.
It's more than a building. It's a promise to continue the legacy Fauja helped build.
