About

Established in 1997, the founders of Al–Noor Foundation set off with a dream to make positive impact within the locality. The initial goal of providing a balanced education that prioritised both academic excellence and good character. The establishment has since branched out to serve the community at a wider reach with various projects.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad sallalahu ‘aliha wa sallam said,

“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three, Sadaqah e Jariyah, a knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him” (Muslim)

Al-Noor Foundation strongly believes in making a positive change to the lives of the individuals, families and communities which we impact on a daily basis. Tarbiyyah is at the heart of this, and alongside the spiritual and intellectual development of our stakeholders, we believe the physical development is just as important.

This physical development is embodied in our Annual Fun Run, where the Foundation has partnered with 313 Fitness, and a number of primary and secondary schools, to endorse the benefits of running to children and adults, but also provide them with an opportunity to raise money for their respective causes in'shaa'Allah.

The funds raised by Al-Noor runners will go towards helping build the largest Muslim secondary school in the UK in'shaa'Allah. We have chosen LaunchGood as our official fundraising platform for this event whom we work closely with for our fundraising events. 
 

The Annual Boat Race​ with the Al-Noor Foundation

The Annual Boat Race is an event which has been established by the Al-Noor Foundation in the Summer of 2018, at Fairlop Waters in the London Borough of Redbridge. The next event takes place this year on Saturday the 6th July 2024

The event is open to all schools, faith groups, charities and corporate organisations. The event aims to unite the community whereby individuals, families and organisations have the opportunity to raise money for charitable causes which are close to their hearts, by simply registering for a boat and participating in the race.

Boat races are part of the great heritage of British culture and an amazing way to unite both competitors and communities together behind a common cause. Dragon Boat racing is something which is growing in popularity in the UK, originating from Southern China’s Guangdong Province.

The boats we will be using can accommodate up to 17 riders at a time and will be provided by a specialist Dragon Boat company which the Foundation has partnered up with to run the event.
