Brighton & Hove Muslim Forum

Recently, the BHMF has set up a youth club for Muslim boys, where they can learn Qur’an and Arabic, and play in a safe environment. The club takes place every Saturday from 10:30am to 2:30pm in the Brighton Youth Centre at 64 Edmond Street in Brighton. The teacher is a qualified Imam, and there is additional supervision for the children. The club has proved very successful, and we hope to follow up as soon as possible with a similar project for Muslim girls.

BHMF arose out of a conference organised in conjunction with three local mosques and university Islamic societies. The event was very successful, with enthusiasm from both Muslims and groups looking to work with Muslims. Since the event, the Forum has met twice, and a committee has been formed, meeting weekly. With the launch of the Forum, the future for Muslims in Brighton and Hove looks bright.
