Story
We are a small but growing organisation offering free events for those who identify as LGBT+ Muslims.
We are a team of 5 volunteers who provide support and run monthly social events in London, Birmingham and Manchester. We also run educational events and social justice campaigns to stop the homophobia, biphobia and transphobia against LGBT+ Muslims. We rely on funding to help us to hire safe spaces, provide resources and to keep our efforts, as volunteers, going.
Our vision is to "To ensure that the voices of LGBT+ Muslims are heard and understood.”
Our mission is: "To provide support and welfare for LGBT+ Muslims and promote social justice and education about the Muslim LGBT+ community to counter discrimination, prejudice and injustice.”
We want to continue to provide places of safety for LGBT+ Muslims, who are often a minority within a minority and to help us to support and campaign to be visible within UK society and to run more successful campaigns to raise awareness of LGBT+ Muslims like our amazing photo campaign with the Naz and Matt Foundation. See: hidayahlgbt.co.uk/social-justice
Please support our efforts to raise £500 so we can buy resources, hire and run events and campaigns in the UK for LGBT+ Muslims in 2017 and 2018. We have many projects on their way from our Ramadan Shoebox appeal to our presence at London, Birmingham and Manchester Pride - your support is what we need.

6 years agoWow! We have hit £300! In a week! Not bad for an entirely volunteer-led organisation! We are delighted with the early response to our campaign as we hit £300 of our £500 target. We were initially nervous as it's all or nothing on this one! You have given the Management Committee and volunteers a real psychological (and physical) boost and we would like to thank all of the people who have pledged their kind support. Thank you, we are so deeply humbled and please keep the generous pledges coming! The Management Committee at Hidayah.
