Asalaamu Alaykum / Hello Friends and Family,

Sunday 16th December is the Discover Islam Luton Sport Day Challenge at Denbigh High School, and I aim to swim 2k in support of this charity which dedicates its work to serving the people of our town. 

Local friends and families in Luton set up the Public Information Centre to provide a voice for the Muslim Community to express the meaning of our faith through various social initiatives including supporting the most needy in society.

5 years on, and the team celebrate some incredible 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 Luton's eldery 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 and 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 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.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and to read this message. I appreciate each and every donation, small or large and hope you are able to come support us on the day.
