On Wednesday 22nd February 2017, a group of representatives from WF AID attended the Muslim Charities Forum Humanitarian Awards which recognised some of the incredible work done by Muslim Charities both locally and internationally.
Head of WF AID and MCF Trustee, Shan E Abbas Hassam, gave a short speech on behalf of the MCF Trustees Board. He spoke about ‘celebrating the exceptional depth, the extraordinary breadth of wonderful work undertaken by British Muslim Charities both here at home and throughout the world’ and also about ‘celebrating the diversity of the organisations that make up the Muslim Charities Forum that when combined create huge potential.’
