The continuation of adult classes including practical and exercise focused for ladies were further developed. These developed the self-confidence and social skills of participants and contributed towards developing the community. The Ladies have a coffee morning as well as educational classes to help with their well being as well as educational progress.

Development of the Ladies Prayer Hall

During the year ended 31st August 2025, the trustees are pleased to report significant progress in the development of a dedicated Ladies Prayer Hall. This project has been a long-standing priority for the Foundation and reflects the trustees' commitment to providing inclusive and appropriate facilities for all members of the community.

The development of the Ladies Prayer Hall will provide a dedicated, comfortable and private space for ladies to perform their prayers and engage in religious activities. The provision of this facility is expected to significantly increase the participation of ladies in the Foundation's programmes and services, in line with the charity's objectives to advance the religion of Islam and promote the welfare of the community.

The trustees have been actively engaged in planning and fundraising for this project throughout the year. The Foundation is grateful for the generous support of donors and the wider community whose contributions have made this development possible. The trustees will continue to oversee the project and ensure that works are completed to the required standard.
