Founded in 2015, the club brings together riders united by culture, community, and compassion.
In April, they launched their first major fundraiser for the RCH Foundation and in just three weeks, they raised an incredible $10,000. Fuelled by their unique approach of combining motorcycles with a community event, the fundraiser brought together individuals and families and sparked conversations about giving back.

Encouraged by this success, the club has pledged to make the fundraiser an annual tradition – rallying their community each year in support of the hospital’s vital work.

For Simran, the cause carries deep personal meaning. His son was diagnosed with a rare, calcified tumour under his nose when he was just five years old. Originally from Malaysia, Simran and his family had recently moved to Australia, and facing such a serious diagnosis so soon after arriving in a new country was daunting. Fortunately, they found comfort, reassurance and hope in the exceptional care at the RCH.

“The care we received from the hospital was exceptional. It was a very long surgery and a long recovery, but the hospital treated us with incredible compassion. That experience stayed with me,” Simran recalled.

That deep gratitude turned into impactful action. Today, the Sikh Motorcycle Club partners with the Melbourne Singhs, another local Sikh group, to raise funds for the hospital’s intensive care units. Together, they’ve become important community ambassadors and partners, using their networks and cultural events to champion children’s health.

Excitingly, they have ambitious plans to take their generosity and impact further. Looking ahead, the club is helping shine a national spotlight on paediatric healthcare by aligning with the Australian Sikh Games, to be hosted in Melbourne in 2026. One of the largest non-government sporting events in the country, the Games will bring together Sikh communities from across Australia and abroad.

In a remarkable show of commitment, they have pledged to support the RCH Foundation with a determined goal of raising $150,000.

At the heart of it all is the Sikh principle of seva which translates to selfless service. But the club’s commitment and efforts are more than just charity – it’s also about connection.

Through their fundraising, the Sikh Motorcycle Club is not only supporting world-class care at the RCH – they are also helping spread awareness of the hospital’s vital work among newer communities finding their place and making Australia their home.

For Simran and other club members, getting involved is a way to give back and connect. In a city as diverse as Melbourne, their support reflects how shared values like compassion and service can unite communities to make a meaningful impact for sick children and their families.
