Alhumdulillah £60,007.54 was raised at the Summer Fete, may Allah reward all those who helped to make the event a huge success. So far we have received £770 in standing orders per month for Project Rebuild which is equal to £9,240 for the whole year. This Ramadhan we launched an appeal with the aim of each person donating £500 towards Project Rebuild and Alhumdulilah a total of 231 people responded to this appeal. This along with donations of less than £500 plus £5,787 through online donations meant that by the 29th of Ramadhan, we raised £160,896.50. £114,700.00 was also collected as Qarze Hasana. Collectively this amount will be used to pay towards the outstanding balance of £250,000 of our purchase of 717-723 High Road which is due in September 2013.
Work towards the temporary building at 717-723 High Road will start this month (August 2013) InshaAllah. An order has been placed for the Portakabin and this will be erected by the end of August/mid September inshaAllah. The old portakabin which was used by the Pre school staff will be removed from the yard.The order for the new marquee will be placed by the end of August inshaAllah. The aim is to have it up and in place by October 2013.
Work on the new build should commence in April 2014. The plan is to demolish and rebuild our properties at 711, 713 and 715 High Road Leyton so that we have one purpose built complex InshaAllah.
