The races will pit numerous charities and organisations against each other in order to be crowned Boat Race champions. 

There will be a men’s and women’s races with heats and finals for those that get through. All our money raised will go towards supporting Project Rebuild. 

Why 

Our redevelopment project was born out of the need to create a purpose built mosque (including community centre) to cater for the growing demands of those in the locality. The site which was used for 25 years as a centrepoint for much of Noor Ul Islam’s great work is now home to an exciting expansion project we like to call ‘Project Rebuild’.

What makes this special 

Our vision for Project Rebuild mirrors the Prophetic model of the mosque being the centre of the community. All the needs of the community were taken care of by the masjid to develop the best of society.

Plans 

With inspiration from the Prophet’s mosque (pbuh), Noor Ul Islam will serve as the heart of the community providing many services under one roof.

Facilities 

In line with the Prophetic ideal, the centre will be inclusive of women, with a dedicated mezzanine floor overlooking the main prayer hall as well as a mother and baby room and ladies only gym. It will be a learning centre offering a library, a pre-school and classes to be used by all ages. It will be a community meeting place with a coffee shop and facilities for meetings, social gatherings and recreational activities as well as dawah projects

There will be funeral services, a shop, fitness sessions and health services for the community. Project Rebuild is estimated to now cost £8 million+. So far, over £5.5 million has already been raised through donations and interest free loans. We have launched numerous successful appeals for different parts of the building that has enabled us to reach beyond the £5 million mark.
