Railway Children Sleepout – 31st January 2019

Every year thousands of children across the UK, India and East Africa run away or are forced to leave homes that have become unbearable through poverty, abuse, violence and neglect. MIR members will be swapping their warm bed at home for the cold floor of a railway station for just one night to help raise awareness as well as vital funds to support the hundreds of children who face this ordeal every day around the world.

Tour de Salah – September 2018

Tour de Salah, the biggest organised bike event of its kind, was a unique physical and spiritual challenge like no other! Cycling across the capital stopping at iconic mosques and enjoying wonderful scenery along the way, three members cycled 100km raising £100 for Barnardo’s Young Carers.

Olive Tree School – September 2018

MIR made a difference by helping renovate a school that will benefit generations for years to come! MIR members helped decorate an Islamic School prior to its re-opening under new management.

Hand in Hand for Syria – July 2018

Established by a group of British-Syrians, looking for how to help Syria, Hand in Hand for Syria has grown to become one of the leading humanitarian charities serving Syrian communities in Syria and neighbouring countries. MIR members supported filling a container with food and clothes for transportation to Syria.

Fast Money – June 2018

One of MIR flagships products is FAST MONEY.
As part of our Ramadan campaign, we encouraged members and their colleagues to donate their ‘Fast’ money saved from skipping lunch, snacks or indeed the whole day’s food. £1102 was raised from 65 donations for Barnardo’s and a cheque presented during our Eid Dinner.
