Today more than ever we need to focus on helping and working one another  we need to share the skills, ideas and aspirations of all of us with successful and inovaitive solutions to challenges that we face’.

‘Championing ‘The big Society’, a cultural change, a liberation, a redistribution of power from central government to the man and women on the street. Its about people take responsibility of the way they live their lives, bringing back the true community spirit. I believe the openness of the Ahmadiyyah muslim community and the emphasis of working hard to make the world a better place are perfectly positioned to support these goals to build a strong society’. For example, the youth group organized feed the homless distribution session in hounslow south, support for selling poppies for the biritsh leigions and regular blood donations at mosques’.

The Ahmaddiyah community in Hounslow is a modeled community and excels in getting things done. The bus campaign started their journey from the hounslow Civic Centre and was very proud for this to happen’.

‘There are a lot of things the Ahmaddiyah Muslim community should be very proud of, the message Love For All Hatetred For None, a universal message. The way they go about selflessly to help others, humanity first is a charity which regardless of race, religion and creed goes out to deliver a humanitarian call to all that require it.’

‘This is a fine institution and is the heart of a community, and a community which Hounslow is proud of. We want to work closely to together to ensure humanity is served and as friends continue to deliver  a message of peace and hope’.

Here in Hounslow the Ahmaddiyah Muslim community in Hounslow has been a pillar of the community playing a major roll in charitable, community events and projects to help those people who need help and support.
