Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

During the past year, we successfully managed to raise about £12,952 to help carry out our charitable work. Over the year, we undertook the following charitable work: We gave out food and humanitarian aid to some socially excluded individuals and deprived communities.

We made cash donations to some disadvantaged individuals and deprived communities to help them meet their short-term essential basic needs.

We organised conferences and provided lectures to educate the members of community/public about the important role the Islamic religion can play in promoting peace and harmony among people in the community and in inspiring people to integrate into the wider community and to help build a strong, peaceful, friendly community.

We organised IT training and workshop to safeguard parents and their children against the danger of misuse of social media. The aim of this workshop was to empower parents to have some controls over their children's uses of information technology, in particular the social media.

We provided counselling and awareness programme for disadvantaged youth in the community. The objective of this programme was to help our targeted youth understand British value and culture and the importance of integration into the wider community. Also, to encourage them to not use violence as a means of tackling their social problems or for being socially excluded.

We organised several outdoor sporting and recreational events for the youth. The purposes of these events were to take the children or youth off the street violence and get them engaged in sporting and recreational activities that could help promote good friendship among them and encouraged them to develop positive attitudes towards the communities in which they live
