0GIRLS AND LADIES SPORTS FACILITY
We are delighted to have secured a new building on a long term lease, and this will allow us to provide multiple sports and fitness opportunities for girls and ladies within our community.
Previously there have been difficulties in arranging the sports activities due to a lack of access to good quality facilities at the required times. The new building will meet the demands of the local female community and allow many more girls and ladies to participate and improve their physical health and mental well-being.
There will be a fully kitted matted area created to provide Martial Arts including Gymnastics, Wrestling, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, Self-Defence and general fitness classes. There will also be an Archery range with all new equipment including bows, arrows target bosses etc.
Madrasa Expansion!
The building will also allow for the much needed expansion of the Madrasa for next year. The building is opposite the current Madrasa on Perth Street. This will be for the Key Stage 1 and the girls classes.
There is some work to do in order for us to make purposeful learning. There is significant investment required in terms of refurbishment and furnishing of the building. We therefore will be asking for your support through donations.
Please do donate generously, this project will not only benefit our Madrasa students but will strengthen our community for future generations. May the Almighty make this a means of Sadaqa Jaria for you, Ameen.
