|||||||||he Tajweed Course|
|||||||||ajweed is the science of learning
how to|
|||||||||recite the noble Quran
in the correct|
|||||||||manner.
This begins with perfecting
the|

ofthe Arabic letters before|
|||||||||moving
on to the rules of recitation.|
|||||||||lot of muslims
did not have the|
|||||||||opportunity
to study tajweed at a young|
|||||||||ge. Many may have studied
it but lost their|
|||||||||connection
with the Quran. The Tajweed|
|||||||||Course was started to fill a void and allow|
|||||||||or adults to study tajweed without
feeling|
|||||||||uncomfortable.|
|||||||||Our Tajweed course for brothers
and sisters|
|||||||||consists of5 different
levels so a student|

|||||||||he Tajweed course runs every Sunday||
|||||||||rom 10am-12pm, with 3 intakes each year.||
|||||||||Due to high demand,
we have now started||
|||||||||classes on Tuesdays
for sisters, to meet the||
|||||||||demand.||
|||||||||Maktab||
|||||||||Maktab is the bedrock of a Muslim||
|||||||||community
and instils
all the tools and||
|||||||||ttributes
required
for a prosperous
future.||
|||||||||he As-Suffa maktab is for children||
|||||||||between
the ages of5-12to learn how to||
|||||||||read the Quran.||
|||||||||eekend Courses||
|||||||||he weekend courses offer an intensive||
|||||||||tudy option for those who cannot commit||
|||||||||he time and/or
would
like to increase their||
|||||||||knowledge
on a particular topic.||
|||||||||Online course||
|||||||||Due to the pandemic,
all ofour courses||
|||||||||moved to our online portal. This attracted|a|
|||||||||new wider audience. We have invested
in a||
|||||||||tudio which has been purpose
built.||
|||||||||Homeless||
|||||||||Over 300,000 people
in the UK are either||
|||||||||homeless or living
in inadequate||
|||||||||ccommodation.
94%of homeless
people||
|||||||||re unemployed,
72% have some sort of||
|||||||||mental
health illness and 56% have a long||
|||||||||tanding
physical
impairment.
With such||
|||||||||tartling
figures, As-Suffa initiated their first||
|||||||||outreach
project to aid the most vulnerable||
|||||||||of our community,
with a vision to make a||
|||||||||change.||
|||||||||hat began
in 2012 with good intentions||
|||||||||nd a few volunteers
handing
out warm||
|||||||||drinks and meals to people sleeping
rough||
|||||||||on our streets, has by the grace ofAllah,||
|||||||||xpanded
nationwide.||
|||||||||Since its inception
in 2012, alhamdulillah,||
|||||||||s-Suffa Outreach's
Homeless
programme||
|||||||||has served
in excess of 300,000 hot meals||
|||||||||othe homeless across the United||
|Charity|Accounts|templates-|Trustees'|annual|report|forthe|period|October 2016||
|||||||||Kingdom. The homeless food programme|is|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|||||||||privately
funded
by generous
donors who||
|||||||||ee the impact ofour service delivery.||
|||||||||During the month of Ramadhan,
our||
|||||||||ervice provision
increases to offer food||
|||||||||very day from our Birmingham
site. Our||
|||||||||operation
is becoming
increasingly||
|||||||||recognised
among service sector and||
|||||||||tatutory
organisations.||
|||||||||Food Bank||
|||||||||he As-Suffa Food Bank project was||
|||||||||initiated
in 2016and is an extension of||
|||||||||our Homeless
project. From our own||
|||||||||experiences
offeeding the homeless
we||
|||||||||ound that families were visiting the||
|||||||||Homeless
provision, as they didn't have||
|||||||||nough food to feed their families and||
|||||||||loved ones. The main objective ofthe||
|||||||||project is to provide emergency
weeks
orth ofgroceries to service users who||
|||||||||have accommodation
but are going||
|||||||||hrough crisis.||
|||||||||Domestic Abuse Counselling||
|||||||||Our Domestic Abuse Counselling||
|||||||||ervice was developed
in response to|a|
|||||||||rising need within our community
to
upport victims ofdomestic abuse.
Existing support functions
for victims||
|||||||||and survivors
ofdomestic abuse,||
|||||||||particularly
from the Muslim
community,||
|||||||||are either inaccessible
or not sensitive||
|||||||||nough ofthe dilemmas
faced by||
|||||||||ervice users from this specific context.||
|||||||||e have an average of 10clients per||
|||||||||month who are undergoing
counselling.||
|||||||||he pattern of new client referrals and||
|||||||||counselling
for eligible clients seems|to|
|||||||||be consistent across the year. Each||
|||||||||client is offered up to 6 months
free||
|||||||||counselling.||
