Help Build a Future for Our Community
Our community is growing—but our space hasn’t.
What was once a small gathering place has now become the heart of a thriving, diverse community. Children, youth, elders, and families come together daily in search of education, support and connection. Yet, we’ve outgrown our current space, limiting the impact we can make.
Now, we have the chance to build a purpose-driven community centre—a self-sustaining hub that will nurture faith, foster unity, and serve everyone, regardless of background.
This May Bank Holiday weekend, a group of determined but inexperienced cyclists will embark on a gruelling challenge—riding 350 miles across four countries in just four days—all to raise much-needed funds for a new community centre.
The Challenge:
Departing: Friday 2nd May at 9:30 AM – Come see us off from our start point at Maidenhead Jamia Masjid (SL6 8AW)
🇬🇧 Day 1: Conquering England’s hills
🇫🇷 Day 2: Pushing through the roads of France
🇧🇪 Day 3: Battling Belgium’s tough terrain
🇳🇱 Day 4: The final push to the Netherlands
We’re not professional cyclists—we’re a group of everyday people pushing our limits for a cause that truly matters. Long days, aching legs, exhaustion—it’ll be tough, but nothing compared to the struggles our community faces without a proper space to grow.
Why Are We Doing This?
Our community has outgrown its current space. We need a modern, self-sustaining hub—a place where:
• Children thrive and youth find mentorship & purpose
• After-school tutoring & homework clubs
• Mental health support groups counselling services
• Youth clubs & leadership programs
• Interfaith & community dialogue events and cohesion projects
• Cultural festivals & heritage days
• Marriage & family guidance services
• A shop & café – Selling food, books and gifts
• Charity fundraising initiatives
• Elders have a welcoming space to connect and combat loneliness (coffee mornings)
• Promote healthy living for all ages
• Vulnerable families receive vital support
• Education & career workshops to uplift our community’s future
• Food banks & social services to care for the most vulnerable
• A library & study hub for knowledge seekers
• Funeral & burial services to support families in their most difficult times
Your support will help create a place where:
• Youth find guidance.
• Families grow stronger.
• The community finds support.
• The wider community benefits from our shared values.
This isn’t just a building—it’s a legacy for future generations.
The Vision:
Our goal is to establish a centre that reflects the needs of today’s community—modern, inclusive, and built on our shared principles of compassion, learning, and service.
This will be more than a community centre—it will be a beacon of support, education, and well-being.

Every mile we ride, every hill we climb, brings us closer to making this vision a reality. We need your support!
