The Sikh Help Line itself tackles many issues with regards to drugs and alcohol abuse. As we all are representing the charity and its values, there is a strict policy against No alcohol/Drugs/Smoking to be consumed at any time during the ride and overnight stays.

 Please also be mindful of any pictures taken during the ride on social media platforms as we don’t want to shed a bad light on the charity.

 Due to space limitations in the minibus Ideally if you can pack light and in one bag it would be ideal.

 *It is recommends the wearing of Dastar or helmets, however we are not making this a mandatory requirement. The wearing of Dastars and Dumalla will be permitted. Please ensure your own health and safety when considering your appropriate head wear.

If you do decide to wear a Dastar or Dumalla please ensure this covers your whole head

 The SHL will take no responsibility on this topic.
