Background

On 3 February a group of 50 met to say we need to do something, not only are we a tiny community in the built environment and real estate in the UK, the nuances of being Muslim make integration difficult.

Since then, while planning for our first event, we have done a lot of very good work very quickly.

As well as being supported by all the main UK Real Estate Professional Institutions, our Member community is growing daily, and organisations are coming forward to support us.

Our first event on 3 May 2023 was 100% sold, and 85% full on the day, people travelled to London from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to attend and Arab News wrote an article.

People have been very complimentary about what we accomplished over a short period.

This will be our 2nd Event, it will be maybe our last key event for the year.

We are an inclusive platform and welcome everyone.

We aim to pave the way into Real Estate and Built Environment Professional Institutions while raising awareness of them and the Professionals in them in Our Communities.

We are becoming a wayfinding service and hope one day to set up a Charitable Foundation.

We did not expect our first event to be such a big success, our photo at the end, our services is now levelling out, as we start to form a more clear identity and plan.
