Channel S has gone from strength to strength in its endeavours to serve the 3rd Sector
community in Britain and worldwide. Regarded as the number one platform for Charita-
ble Campaigns, Channel S continues to strive to better its services to al users and main-
tain a stringent policy on transparency, openness and feeding back information to view-
ers and donors.
The year 2009 was a huge challenge for the third sector as the world faced a major eco-
nomic crisis, however, in that very year Channel S set a new record by raising £1.1 Million
in one night for East London Mosque. This year too will be a challenge, as it has been a
year of numerous natural disasters, starting from Indonesia in November 2009 and then
Haiti and Bangladesh amongst many other countries. The world is witnessing a growing
number of natural calamities and time and time again donors are being urged to help
those that are poor and needy around the world.

Brief History
Newbury Park Islamic Cultural Centre (NPICC) has managed to buy 1142sqm of land
from the London Borough Of Redbridge in 2007 which was previously used as a Salvation
Army Church. A purpose built Mosque and Islamic centre will be built on this land for
the Muslim brothers and sister of the Newbury Park area. There is fast-growing Muslim
population in the area and not enough Mosques available to meet the needs of the local
community. This project, when complete, Inshallah will be unique for its location and its
contemporary design.
Land purchase price was £180,000.00 and to obtain the planning permission an-
other £25,00, all together £205,000 has already been spent on this project, which
was collected from the local Muslim brothers and sisters and Ramadan Appeal.
Future Plan
Planning permission has now been approved and work on this project must com-
mence immediately. To build a purpose built mosque as per the council’s approved
design a total of £600,000.00 is required. Work on the project is planned to start
after Ramadan.

Brief History
For the last 14 years local Muslims have been praying the Friday prayer in a rented
hall. In June of 2009, after searching for suitable properties for several years a
3-storey building has been purchased at a good accessible location for the local
community. Following a successful appeal on Channel S in early 2010, donations
from local Muslims and Qard-E-Hasana, the property was refurbished and reo-
pened for the first Jummah prayers on 25th June 2010. The Mosque now offers 5
daily prayers, Jummah Prayers and evening and weekend Qur’an classes for chil-
dren.

The property has been purchased at the price of £45000.00. On refurbishment
work and other expenses we spent £60000.00. The Mosque still remains in debt
of £38,000.00 including a £20,000.00 bank loan and £180,000.00 Qard-E-Hasana.
Future Plan
Inshallah once debt free the Mosque will continue to develop the educational
facilities in the building, including classes for children, adults and women. The
Mosque is situation in the heart of a sizeable Muslim community and additional
services such as funeral, counselling and community based services will also be
developed.

Future Plan K
The Mosque is now under pressure to meet its financial burdens by March of 2011.
The alternative is to consider interest-based financing which is not considered
to be a favored option. With the help of donors the outstanding amount can be
repaid and this Mosque will become Debt-Free and able to begin a long-term pro-
gramme of development and services for the community. It is planned Inshallah
that this Masjid will be a centre of Islamic education for Luton.

Brief History
Becontree Heath Islamic Society was established on the 5th of June 2005. The
charity came in to being due to the lack of Islamic education and spiritual facilities
in Barking & Dagenham.
We currently run a local temporary masjid and community centre based on Green
Lane (Dagenham) which used to run community and Islamic services. At present,
the premise is extremely small to accommodate all our services that our commu-
nity in need.

At the moment we are running 5 daily prayers, tajweed classes, tafseer and hadith
classes and also bayaans after asar jammarented in a rented shop in Green Lane
(Dagenham), the turn up of mosalies was more than we expected at jumma’h,
there for we had to offer 2 jumma’h jammats in our Mosque
Future Plan
We are in proses to buy a new premises which will be freehold and the price for
the premises is £500000 and this will allow us to provide a more wider range of
services and activities in Islamic education, health, employment opportunities, fu-
neral service and dawah project for nonmuslims.We need your generous support
to secure the place for Masjid.

This Mosque was built in 1999 on the basis of Daily prayer, Eid prayer, Friday
prayer etc and Children Islamic Education. At that time, there was no mosque
around the local area.
The planning permission, granted to refurbish building is subject to an ex-
piry date which is fast approaching and in order keep the permission valid
the work must commence within the dates specified otherwise the permis-
sion may be revoked and new planning permission will have to be sought.

erty both internally and externally and give the whole building the look of a pur-
pose built Mosque. According to the Building Survey, it will cost in the region of
£700,000 to complete the work.

folio of services that the Mosque provides, in addition, a new larger prayer area

ling sessions, youth services, pastoral care for the elderly and regular day trips for
local residents.

Brief History
Since 2001 daily prayers, Jummah and Eid prayers have been performed in an old
church. In 2003 a house was rented to be used as a Mosque but couldn’t accom-
modate the growing Muslim population. Subsequently a fairly big warehouse was
rented to be used as the mosque. This warehouse officially opened as a mosque
on the 20th August 2009. The place is still unfortunately not big enough to cater
for the growing Muslim community and accommodate on-going projects such as
those mentioned below.
Presently the activities include; Mosque, Evening Madrasha for children, Adult
Islamic Education (Men and Women with segregation), CMC Sporting Club etc.
Future Plan
Plans are under way to buy land to build a Muslim Centre/Complex. The cost of
securing the land is €800,000. The local community has already pledged the sum
of around €500,000 in the form of donations and Qard-E-Hasana. If the remain-
ing amount can be raised during Ramadan, the land can be secured and plans to
build a purpose built Mosque can begin in earnest.

About Light Up Europe

Islam in Western Europe began shortly after the religion’s inception, with a short
lived invasion of Byzantine Sicily by a small Arab and Berber force that landed in
652. Islam gained its first foothold in Europe from 711 onward, with the Umayyad
conquest of Hispania. According to the German Central Institute Islam Archive,
the total number of Muslims in Europe in 2007 was about 53 million, including 16
million in the European Union. It is estimated that Europe’s Muslim population
will double by 2020.
“Light Up Europe” is a new initiative by Channel S to serve the growing need of

Mosques in Europe. This year Channel has joined hands with 4 mosques in 4
European countries to assist them in establishing in much needed Mosques and
Islamic Centres. Germany, Italy, Austria and France will jointly campaign for their
respective projects during Ramadan.

Brief History
In response to the increasing number of Muslims in the local community, mem-
bers established the mosque in 2005, after 2 years of intense fundraising they es-
tablished the Friday prayers at a local community centre and in 2009 they pur-
chased a building for the mosque.
The Mosque in its temporary state currently offers the Friday prayers and
Ramadan tarawih prayers. The Mosque also offers a Ramadan meal service
to the local community. All this is done by the fundraising efforts of the
local members.
Future Plan
The plan is to complete the conversion of the new building into an Islamic centre,
which will cost approximately £125,000. This will increase the number of facilities
currently offered by the Mosque, which will include the establishing of 5 daily
prayers, after-school homework support, Islamic studies and Quran classes.
In order to re-pay the Qard-E-Hasana loans and also to pay for the refur-
bishment works of the building there is a need of £530,000.

GAT has been operating as a relief body for almost 3 years and was founded by
trustees which are renowned in the UK and abroad. The charity came into being
due to the disasters which took place in Bangladesh, namely cyclone Aila and Sidr.
GAT has also in the last 12 months worked in Indonesia and Haiti in partnership
with Islamic Relief UK.

Global Aid Trust has completed its first Major project in August of this year, just
days before Ramadan. A complete cyclone centre and Masjid has been construct-
ed in Bagerhat following the devastation that killed many during Cyclone Sidr &
Cyclone Aila. It is now intended to replicate this project in other disaster prone ar-
eas of Bangladesh. Global Aid Trust has also progressed swiftly in ensuring that all
Orphans sponsored in Ramadan 2009 received due care and attention, it is hoped
sponsors will continue their support. Education projects, Cataract Operations,
Livelihood projects have continuously been delivered over the last 12 months.
2009 / 2010 has been a year of progression for Global Aid, with offices now estab-
lished in Dhaka and Sylhet.
Future Plan

Dortmund Bangladeshi Mosque- Dortmund, Germany

Dortmund Mosque was established in 2008 for just under 200,000 Euro’s, major-
ity of which was donations. The mosque remains in need of some 40,000 Euro’s to
become completely debt free and to be able to pay off its Qard-E-Hasanah.
Masjid E Rome – Rome, Italy
Masjid-E-Rum was recently under threat of being closed down due to the land-
lord imposing a deadline for the purchase. Through the generosity of Channel
S viewers and Qard-E-Hasanah loans the immediate threat was overcome. The
Mosque remains under the pressure of over 100,000 Euro’s debt that needs to be
paid off as a matter of urgency.
French Muslim Cultural Association – Paris, France

Paris Mosque has a large attendance by local Muslims and is seriously in need of
expansion. An opportunity has presented itself to purchase a building next to the
Mosque which will satisfy the immediate and long-term needs of the Mosque. In
order to secure the property they need to raise approximately 500,000 Euro’s –
both locally and internationally.
Bangladesh Islamic Center Baitul Mukarram – Vienna, Austria

Vienna’s Mosque is house in a building that is large enough to meet the needs of
the Muslims in the locality for the long-term future. The renovations require
a cash injection of at least 250,000 Euros’ which will enlarge the prayer area,
create classrooms and create ample accommodation for female prayer
area. The Mosque is also in need of funeral and wudu facilities.

Brief History
Initiated in Ramadan 2007, Ramadan Family Commitment (RFC) is a scheme

Qurbani Family Commitment

Qurbani is an Islamic prescription for the affluent to share
ment
their good fortune with the needy in the community.
On the occasion of Eid-Ul-Adha, affluent Muslims all over

the world perform the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (AS),
by sacrificing a goat or sheep. The meat is then divided
into three equal parts. The person who performs the Qur-
Qurbani Family Commit
bani retains on part. The other is given to his relatives.

The third part is distributed to the poor.
This tradition continues even today. Faithful Muslims all

over the world submit to the will of Allah SWT and sac-
rifice a part of their bounty for the benefit of the less
fortune.
QFC has been designed to make the giving of Qurbani

easier for the Muslim community in UK & Europe. Chan-
nel S, on an annual basis brings together three or more
well-known charity organisations in the UK to jointly
administer Qurbani throughout the world and to distribute
meats to poor people
QFC 2007
It was a combined appeal by Hefazothe Islam UK, Muslim
Aid and IQRA international. In 2007 QFC appeal received
£136,000 of Qurbani money and with that money Qurbani
was administered in Sylhet division, Lakhipur, Cox’s Bazar
and in SIDR affected are of Bangladesh.
QFC 2008
In 2008 QFC appeal received £72,868.58 of Qurbani money
and with that money Qurbani was administered jointly
by Islamic Relief, Hefazothe Islam UK and Muslim Aid in
Sylhet division, North Bengal area specially cyclone SIDR
effected area of Bangladesh and Ethiopia .
QFC 2009
It was a combined appeal by Islamic Relief, Muslim Aid,
Global Aid Trust and IQRA international. In 2009 QFC ap-
peal received £78,343 of Qurbani money and with that
money Qurbani was administered in Sylhet division, Jes-
sore, Chittagong, Thakurgaon and earthquake affected
area of Indonesia.

fore Eid-Ul-Adha and further information will be available

Gift Aid is a scheme to enable tax-effective giving by individu-
als to charities in the United Kingdom. It allows individuals who
are subject to UK income tax, to complete a simple, short dec-
laration that they are a UK taxpayer. Any cash donations that
the taxpayer makes to the charity after making a declaration
are treated as being made after deduction of income tax at the
basic rate (22% in 2006/7), and the charity can reclaim the basic
rate income tax paid on the gift from HMRC. For a basic-rate
taxpayer, this adds approximately 28% to the value of any gift
made under Gift Aid. Higher-rate taxpayers can claim income
tax relief, above and beyond the amount claimed directly by
the charities. The rate of the relief for higher-rate taxpayers in
2006/7 is usually 18%, the difference between the basic rate (22%)
and the higher rate (40%) of income tax, although recipients
of savings income (taxed at 20% and 40%) and dividend income
(taxed at 10% and 32.5%) can achieve higher rates of tax relief
(20% and 22.5%, respectively).
Originally, declarations had to be made in writing. Declarations

can now be made verbally, but the charity must confirm the
declaration in writing and keep a copy of the confirmation. If
the taxpayer incorrectly makes a declaration, the charity is still
able reclaim the tax that should have been paid on the gift, but
the individual is required to pay the same amount to HMRC to
make up the difference.
Gift Aid can only be reclaimed on money donated by UK taxpay-

ers. Non-UK taxpayers can make donations but the donation will
not be eligible for a tax reclaim from HMRC.
