||||||Using a three-pillar
strategy (Care, Connect,||
||||||Grow), Hidayah
has made leaps and bounds||
||||||for its beneficiaries,
LGBTQ Muslims
in the||
|Surnrnary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity,||||Para 1.ZI|UK. Ithas also made significant
inroads

|whole.|||||Hidayah
was shortlisted
for the 2022 British||
||||||LGBTAwards
(Top 10 LGBT+ Charities or||
||||||Cornrnunity
IniTiatives) and the 2023||
||||||Burberry
British Diversity Awards (Charity|of|
||||||the Year). Both these high-profile
awards||
||||||have helped raise Hidayah's
profile as a||
||||||charity but also has boosted the visibility|of|
||||||the often ignored
minority that
it serves:||
||||||LGBTQ Muslims, For many, the simple||
||||||knowledge
that it is possible to exist as||
||||||LGBTQ and as Muslim
is revelatory
in and of||
||||||itself, and these awards
iipliR such||
||||||corninunities
as ours.||
||||||In the past year, the Hidayah
team has||
||||||created crucial resources that serve different||
||||||purposes. The inforrnadon
pack now housed||
||||||on Switchboard
LGBT's intranet isan||
||||||essential educational
tool for Switchboard||
||||||listeners,
particulariy
given a third of||
||||||Switchboard
callers are Muslim. Similarly,||
||||||Hidayah
assisted Just Like Us with a||
||||||much-needed
school resource that serves to||
||||||benefit the wider public as well as LGBTQ||
||||||Muslims, as a reminder
that they are not||
||||||alone.||
||||||During Ramadan,
one ofthe most significant||
||||||times of year for Muslims (and often the||
||||||most dNicult for queer Muslims),
Hidayah||
||||||sends out weekly care packages toservice||
||||||users. These have been positively
received||
||||||in
revious
ears and can be a lifeline for||
|LGBTQ Muslims who struggle
during this||
|---|---|
|time,||
|The events that Hidayah
is involved
in vary||
|greatly. Hidayah
has had a presence at||
|severalPrides,
induding
Manchester,
Milton
Keynes and Birmingham.
In terms of
external||
|panels and talks, Hidayah
speakers||
|have been hasted by organisations
fram the||
|University
ofSuffolk, Diorama Theatre,||
|Health Education
England,
Inclusive||
|Employers.
Kick It Out, Fairfield School, the||
|Royal Horticultural
Society and many more.||
|Charities such as the Runnyrnsde
Trust,||
|Shaping
Our Lives and SAYiT hsvs all held||
|conferences
featuring a Hidayah
talk or||
|panel. Organisations
are reminded
oftheir||
|duty to LGBTQ people offaith, who are often||
|also people ofcolour. and the importance
the Equality Act's protected characteristics.|of|
|Online, our monthly
book clubs prove to be a||
|safe space for queer Muslims,
while also||
|serving as an opptxtunity
to partner with a||
|queer-led
bookshop
in Leeds. Those buying||
|the book dub pick from The Bookish Type||
|enjoy a 20%discount
on that title, allowing||
|for mutual
increased
visibility
and queer||
|solidarity. Other online events have seen||
|lively discussions
about Islamophobia,
the||
|Qatar World Cup and the legacy ofSection||
|28.||
|In terms ofcampaigns
and policy, Hidayah
has been vocal in its opposition
to||
|conversion
therapy.
Hidayah
is part ofthe||
|Bsn Conversion
Therapy
Coalition, a group||
|ofcharitiss
united
in banning
convsrsian||
|practices and ensuring
this protects trans||
|people specifically.
Hidayah
is also a||
|co-signer of two open letters opposing
the||
|practice, ons with the aforementioned||
|coalition and one with UN-Aligned,
a||
|European
NGO. Additionally,
Hidsysh's||
|presence at protests such as||
|¹NotSafeToBeMe (campaigning
against||
|transphobia)
has been notable and||
|significant
in raising awareness.||
|Particularly
in the past year, Hidayah's
social||
|media
posts and newsletters
have proved||
|educational
and popular.
From debunking||
|myths about Ramadan
to discussing
current||
|affairs (such as the death of trans teenager||
|Brianna Ghey, fiie rhetoric around||
|monksypox
or the media narrative
on the||
|Qatar World Cup), these posts have been||
|vital in
