Support your local school
Al-Noor relies upon dedicated people, like you, who show commitment, eagerness, a belief in the aims of this project and a can do attitude, this is fundamental so, how can you help?

Here are some suggestions:

• Get your family friends and own friends interested in this project
  Family friends are like family. Give them the leaflets to read and get them involved. If you have a large family gathering and would like one of the brothers (or sisters if that is more relevant) from the school to come and make a small presentation then please do contact us and we will arrange something suitable for your gathering Insha Allah. We have all the necessary audio- visual equipment to provide the right impression Insha Allah.
• Speak to your local masjid members and the Imam
  Try to get them to support this project and to use their influence in encouraging the community to do so likewise. Why not ask your Imam to talk about the importance of muslim schools in the UK and increase the awareness of this need?
• Speak to your local businessmen
  We need their financial aid/sponsorship, input, promotion and willingness to support this project. Should they show keenness in helping the community and they would like a business presentation to be made to them then we have the ability to do so and would be happy to advise accordingly.
• Keep in regular contact with the project team
  The easiest way of keeping in touch with the project is by subscribing to our electronic mailing list.
• Do regularly check the website for updates and upcoming events.
  We need your input and feedback.

The following are some ideas that you may feel beneficial and could be developed for fundraising purposes Insha Allah:

• Sponsoring a child to give up sweets
  Get a child interested in giving up something for perhaps a day a month, like sweets. Sponsor them and get your friends to sponsor them too. The proceeds go to Al-Noor and we’will publicise the success of the child on the web site.
• Cooking sessions/parties for sisters
  Why not have a gathering of sisters who get together and produce various dishes and all proceeds again going to Al-Noor? Better still, why not have an international dishes gathering? We have Muslims from all over the world and each have their own delicacies.
• Auction sales at events
  Do you have something valuable you would like to give away for charitable purposes? Al-Noor often organises events and bazaars where we auction items, and all the money raised goes to Al-Noor. If you have an item you think we would like to donate for our auctions, please contact us.
• Sponsor a mini sports day
  Why not get together with other parents and have a mini sports day for the children. Reward the children, make them feel proud to be Muslim and at the same time donate the proceeds of the day to Al-Noor
• Distribution of door to door leaflets
  Why not go around family, friends houses distributing leaflets for Al-Noor? This does require a lot of time but is an effective method. Please contact us for more details.
• Promote Al-Noor using the internet
  If you know of anyone who maintains Islamic web sites or mailing lists, why not get them to put up free advertisements for Al-Noor? We can provide the text and graphics to help you do this.
• Posters to put in Muslim business shop windows
  Get Muslim businessmen to put up posters for Al-Noor, get them involved, make them feel the need to help the community and represent Al-Noor.
• Getting a slot on a local radio station that promotes Islamic programmes
  Do you know anyone who works for an Islamic radio station? Would you be able to get a free slot? If so, email us.
• Contact Muslim magazines, publications and ask them for a donation or free ad space to promote this project
  Do you know of muslim businessmen who work in the publishing industry? Get them to donate in money and free ad space for this charity.
• Have a sponsored run or walk and get as many family friends as you can to sponsor you and we will advertise your aim and how successful you were on our web site!
  Are you a budding athlete? Why not get the community to sponsor you? Use our web site to get sponsorship. All proceeds go to Al-Noor and you get your name on our website to let others know of your success!
• Volunteer your services at one of our events
  You are part of team that believes in this project and we need YOU!!! Come along and donate your services. If you wish to be a volunteer at one of our events, why not email us?
• Keep a loose change box specifically for Al-Noor
  Fed up with your 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p loose change? Why not put it into a small collection box and at the end of the month donate it to Al-Noor. Every little bit helps. If you would like a donation box, please contact us and we can arrange a collection box for you.
• Make du'aa for this project
  So important and sometimes least remembered. Make du’aa at the special times that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) emphasised in his ahadith.
