Para 1.20 | We have kept the weekly seminars and classes on educating and spreading knowledge for anyone to participate. There has been a very positive feedback on the benefits of these seminars from the participants. It is a chance for them to learn, socialise, make friends and also get consultancy support on a range of everyday life situations. We have started online educational classes and webinars. Through these classes we deliver Arabic language teaching as well as how to read the Quran. We have started operating within the Kirkdale/Walton area of L4 postcode area in Liverpool. From 29/05/2024 to 31/05/2024 we held a UK wide family retreat at Anglesey Conway Centres. This was one of, if not the most successful activities we have carried out so far. Over 90 families participated which totalled to about 400 individuals, for a couple of nights of fun, socialisations, spiritual experiences professional talks and speeches. |
