1000 arrows · 16 December 2018

Discover Islam is a full-time public information centre conveniently located in the heart of Luton’s town centre. We are a community based organisation that has been inspired by our values in order to make a positive difference in our town and to make the town we love even better to live in for all.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page


I will be shooting between 500 to 1000 arrows for a charity based in Luton dedicated to working and serving people of this town.


Local friends and families in Luton set up the Discover Islam centre to provide a voice for the Muslim community to present their faith and deliver social initiatives to support the most needy in society.


5 years on, the team have delivered amazing results including:



    • Helping to set up and support Luton Foodbank donating more than 50,000 food items since it was established

  • Feeding 100 Homeless people weekly every Friday through the Curry Kitchen delivered in partnership with Community Interest Luton

  • Holding Bedfordshire's only Uniform Exchange which works with more than 30 schools to provide uniforms to children in need locally in partnership with the Level Trust.

  • Providing gifts to children in care annually in partnership with Luton Borough Council Fostering teams

  • Launching the HeatLuton campaign in partnership with Age Concern Luton to combat fuel poverty and support Lutons elderly community and local households in need.  

  • Delivering presentations to thousands of school children

  • Hosting an annual Hajj Exhibition in partnership with Luton Culture

  • Organising an annual Fastathon in Ramadan encouraging everyone to skip lunch and support a good local cause

  • Training public and private sector organisations on Islam awareness and cultural diversity. Professional guidance has been provided to the Football Association, Bedfordshire Police & Prisons service, the NHS, CHUMS Bereavement services, Active Luton and INSET training for school teachers and management.

  • Supporting Mosque open days locally

  • Volunteering at Luton Half Marathon

  • Hosting the Uprising youth annual review workshop

  • Promoting Blood donations with the local Blood bank

  • Supporting charitable causes locally including Keech Hospice, Friends of Bright Eyes, L & D hospital and many more.


This work wouldn't be possible without the generous support of members of the local community. Please donate to help sustain this work and help us build a stronger Luton together.
