Forward Thinking

Testimonials

"Forward Thinking has helped us think about our work from an objective and strategic point of view and move it forward. With their thorough understanding of different communities and their needs, they have supported us in engaging with others more effectively. They have provided us with a platform to network with different organisations which is pivotal for the success of our work".

Zahra Imame, Muslim Student Leadership Programme London

"I work with young Muslim girls from the age of 14-20. Forward Thinking has given them the opportunity to take part and engage in outdoor and social activities. This has been brilliant for my girls as their confidence has blossomed since they have had the chance to broaden and enhance their social skills".

Fatima Khaled

Forward Thinking is a proactive, demand-driven, facilitative organisation that works:

To promote in the UK greater understanding and confidence between the diverse grassroots Muslim communities and the wider society including the Media and the British establishment.
To promote a more inclusive peace process in the Middle East.
To facilitate a global dialogue between the religious and secular worlds.

Forward Thinking was founded in 2004 as an independent non-denominational charity.
