ofthe charity|||Achievements
and Performance
Our activities are organised
by Sub-Committees
(SC)as below:|| |during the|year||The Bereavement
Support SC provided
bereavement
support,
and|| ||||funeral
and burial process information
to bereaved
families
in the|| ||||community.
This is an important
service as bereavement|| ||||is a stressful
time for any family but can be particularly
so for Muslim|| ||||families where time is ofthe essence and burials
must take place as|| ||||soon as possible after death. Timely guidance as to the|| ||||steps involved can help smooth the process and remove some ofthe|| ||||stress.|| ||||The Social Events SC organised
several religious
celebratory
events|| ||||throughout
the year, open to all in the community.
These events such as|| ||||Eid-al Adha and Eid-al Fitr celebrations
were also attended
by people
from other faiths from the inter-faith
forum. This SC also arranges|| ||||monthly
Ladies Coffee Mornings: these events double not only as social|| ||||events where ladies can chat and support each other but also|| ||||educational
too with awareness
presentations
on health,
beauty|| ||||and other topical issues by visiting presenters.
This team also arranged|| ||||fund raising to support a charity appeal
by Macmillan
Cancer Support an
established
local charity. Due to covid restriction activates were affected|| ||||overthe
last 2 years.|| ||||The Religious Affairs SC arranges
all Friday Prayers,
Ramadan|| ||||Taraveeh
Prayers,
Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha Prayers.
All were very well|| ||||supported
by the community.
Due to the Corona virus pandemic
and|| ||||government
restrictions
Friday prayers,
Ramadan
Taraveeh
prayers|and| ||||Eid al Fitr was suspended.
Eid al Adha prayer facilities were made|| ||||available as the government
had lifted to social distancing
and allowed|| ||||congregations.
Due to covid activities were restricted to maintain|| ||||the government
guideline.|| ||||The Education SC arranged
children's
supplementary
school classes on|| ||||Sundays
in Arabic, Islamic Studies, Quranic Reading
and supplementary
Math's.
In addition
it held open day, sports day and achievement
prize
giving sessions open to the public. The SC delivers
its services by|| ||||working
in partnership
with StPeters Catholic School, Solihull who hire|| ||||the school to us. These activities were temporarily
suspended
due to|the| ||||government
restrictions.|| ||||The INanagement
