Purpose of MHM

To celebrate and raise awareness about the significant contributions and cultural richness of Muslims in Britain, with the goal of challenging negative stereotypes, fostering improved understanding, and cultivating greater empathy and inclusion towards Muslim communities within the broader society.


Your ideas can be big or small. They could be something you would consider doing personally or would like to see others do. We can add these to our toolkit to help inspire others.
