## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE:**
## 1. Bamba Day 11th Edition – Fundraising Event
This year was a significant milestone as we proudly hosted the 12th edition of Bamba Day. The grand event attracted Murids, Muslims, and other faith communities from across the UK, fostering a sense of unity and celebration within our community. Over 1500 attendees participated in the event at The New Bingley Hall Birmingham. The event was organised through donations from members, local community, local business and other Dahiras across the UK (10 Dahiras in total)
2. Annual Magal Touba in the Digbeth Hall Birmingham – A fundraising event. In August of this year, we organized the Greatest Magal Touba in the prestigious Digbeth Hall in the heart of Birmingham. The event was a great success and was attended by over 500 people from across the West Midlands.
3. This year was extra special as for the first time we took the Dahira to the park (permission given by Birmingham City Council) and organised a Safar at the Park in preparation for the Magal. We were able to showcase what we do as a community, spread the teachings of Mouridism to the public and raise awareness for our Charity. Food and drinks were distributed to the public which was well received.
3. Weekly Ramadan Gatherings: During Ramadan, the community came together for prayers, Quran readings, Khassida recitations, and the communal Iftar experience. These gatherings allowed those observing Ramadan to break their fast and allowed community members of all faiths to come together and gain a deeper understanding of Ramadan.
4. Eid Celebration: Eid was a time of family celebration, embodying the spirit of unity and happiness. The community celebrated this special day with prayers, festivities, and collective appreciation. These events and achievements demonstrate our commitment to fostering a strong community bond, cultural vibrancy, and spiritual development. We are excited to continue enhancing these efforts as we move forward with the district.

## **Aims and Objectives - continued**
Our primary goal moving forward is to establish a Community/Education Center. This Center is envisioned as a beacon of knowledge and community spirit, catering to both young adults and the elderly. It will serve as a central point for disseminating the teachings of Islam and Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba. Through this endeavour, we aim to further our role as Khadimul Rassoul, the servants of the Messenger. Additionally, the Center will facilitate our ability to provide spiritual and life guidance to more individuals in need. We are raising funds towards our own building and are currently using a \asaC building owned by the Mohammed Butt Foundation to run the Charity from there. It would be ideal to secure our own building for this purpose.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
