Excellent work by @TellMamaUK raising awareness of rising #HateCrime on public transport leading to the launch of Anti Hate campaign with @CST_UK @cpsuk @MayorWestMids @WestMidsPCC @ST_Police @bahutrustuk "United we stand against all types of hate" #Wolverhampton #StopHateWM

We welcomed faith and community leaders from across British society to a major inter-faith iftar at Lancaster House @FCDOGovUK  in London. One of the big themes of Ramadan is bringing people together, and it's wonderful to see that happening.

We took young leaders from inner-city Birmingham on a 3-day journey along the stunning Llangollen Canal 🌿🚤 From steering a 70ft boat through locks & tunnels to praying in nature. They paused city life to reconnect with faith, reflection & stillness. #EmpoweringFutures

The Bahu Trust took our amazing young people on the breathtaking Four Waterfalls trek in the Brecon Beacons, a journey of resilience, reflection and spiritual connection. Surrounded by the beauty of Allah’s creation, we took time to appreciate nature and strengthen our faith.

This morning felt like a step back for #BalsallHeath: illegally parked cars, dumped gas cylinders, smashed vehicles, and piles of rubbish. Big thanks to @SparkbrookWMP for making a difference—and luckily, some good citizens are stepping up to raise our standards for everyone!
