This Saturday, 14th September—don’t miss it! It’s for a great cause, organised by children for the children of Bangladesh flood victims. Please join us, enjoy the day, and lend your support to the children. May the Almighty bless you!

Huge Congratulations to our First Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Group!

Today marks the end of their incredible 2-day expedition, and what a journey it’s been! From navigating through challenging routes, to setting up camp and cooking their own meals, they’ve shown exceptional resilience, teamwork, and a true spirit of adventure.

Over the past two days, they've hiked through stunning landscapes, faced unpredictable weather, and worked together to overcome every obstacle. It’s been a transformative experience, and we couldn’t be prouder of how much they’ve grown and learned throughout the process.

A huge well done to each and every participant for their hard work and determination. This is just the beginning of their DofE journey — exciting things lie ahead!

Thank you to our leaders Saly Begum, Jamshed from Rochdale Youth Service and Shahin Chowdhury who supported them along the way, ensuring a safe and successful expedition.

Please can everyone share and support. Thank you.

Our team had the privilege of attending a wonderful event to support the flood victims in Bangladesh. Huge thanks to Muzahid Khan and Musharraf Hussain for organizing such a meaningful gathering!

A huge thank you to Master Mohamed Hasim for delivering an incredible kickboxing program for the children during our summer holiday activities! Your dedication and expertise made a big impact, and the kids absolutely loved it. We appreciate all your hard work in making this summer so special!

Last day of our holiday activity program, and it’s been a blast! We kicked things off with kickboxing, got creative with cool science experiments like the dry paper towel trick, and the kids loved the face painting and henna. We even had a bouncy castle that was a huge hit! To top it off, all the kids received certificates for their amazing participation. A big thank you to everyone for your hard work in making this summer activities program a success. So grateful for all the fun and smiles—what a fantastic way to wrap up the holiday!
