She found this in volunteering within the local community for a local organisation.

Hackney Muslim Council (An Organisation for Men) – she conducted translation work, managed after school playschemes and activities and held language classes.

Then through Hackney Community College, her contributions were recognised and was appointed to teach language classes at Skinners School for girls in Hackney.

From her volunteering and experiences, she realised there was a significant shortfall in support, education, public services and opportunities for Muslim Women and Girls in Hackney and through her persistence, Hackney Muslim Women’s Council was born, in 1983.

She has been passionately been volunteering to the community for over 40 years.
