Muslim Women's Council An independent charity led by Muslim women, for Muslim women living in Britain

The Muslim Women’s Council is a proactive organisation led by the needs of Muslim women. It aims to:

• Provide a local and regional platform for Muslim women to network and to develop confidence to engage on issues of concern affecting Muslims living in the UK

• To promote greater understanding and confidence between Muslims and the wider society
• To promote meaningful engagement between Muslim

s and the media, policy makers and leaders,
• To engage with senior decision makers and leaders to hold them to account and influence policy

• At MWC we believe women are an effective force for social change and critical to the current debate taking place about the role/place of Muslims in British society.

💚 Members of our team were honoured to attend the launch of 'Leeds Road Festival 2026' at Bradford Live on Sunday 9 August, where we had the privilege of presenting the inaugural 'Bana Gora Community Award' to a truly deserving recipient.

We are deeply grateful to the organisers for choosing to honour our beloved sister, Co founder and CEO, Bana Gora, in such a meaningful way. Bana and Saadia were delighted to attend the launch of the inaugural Leeds Road Festival last year, making this year's event especially poignant. Although we greatly missed her presence, it was a privilege to celebrate her life, her service and her enduring legacy.

Naming the Community Award after Bana is a fitting tribute to her unwavering commitment to the people of Bradford, particularly women and local communities. Her vision, compassion and dedication continue to inspire all who had the honour of knowing and working alongside her.

May Allah grant our beloved Bana the highest place in Jannat al Firdaws and accept her lifelong service as a source of continuous reward. Ameen.

💚 Modest clothing should never be a barrier to enjoying sport.

A big thank you to Darren Game for encouraging our group of Muslim women to step onto the golf course with confidence, have fun, and embrace the game while wearing whatever they feel comfortable in. Here's to making sport more inclusive and accessible for all.

💚 MWC was delighted to take part in a Ladies Day of Golf with the Muslim Golf Association at Centurion Club last Friday, where our group enjoyed a truly inspiring and memorable experience.

The day included the opportunity to watch some of the world's leading women golfers compete in the PIF London Championship, take part in a private golf clinic led by professional female coaches, explore the course and enjoy a day centred around learning, participation and community. It was fantastic to see so many women encouraged to get involved in sport in such a welcoming and inclusive environment.

A special thank you to Asma from the Muslim Sports Foundation for taking such great care of our group throughout the day and to the Muslim Golf Association for organising such a wonderful event. We look forward to many more opportunities like this, in sha Allah.

💚 We are proud to share that Selina Ullah, former Chair, continuing Trustee and Co founder of the Muslim Women’s Council, has been recognised as 'Woman of the Year' at the British Asian Women Awards 2026.

This award celebrates women whose leadership, service and commitment have made a lasting difference across communities in Britain. For us, this recognition holds even greater meaning as Selina has dedicated it to the memory of our beloved sister, Co founder and CEO, Bana Gora.

🗯 "Being recognised as the 'Woman of the Year' in this way is a great honour, but I dedicate this recognition to our beloved Bana. Her vision, courage and unwavering commitment to women and our community inspired so many of us. I hope that, through continuing the work she believed in so deeply, we can honour the remarkable legacy she has left behind."

Selina Ullah
Former Chair, Trustee and Co founder

Bana devoted her life to empowering women, strengthening communities and inspiring others to lead with faith, compassion and purpose. Her legacy continues through the lives she touched and the work she began, which we remain committed to carrying forward.

We congratulate Selina on this well deserved recognition and thank her for ensuring that this special moment honours Bana's extraordinary life and legacy.

May Allah grant our beloved Bana the highest place in Jannat al Firdaws and accept her lifelong service as a source of continuous reward. Ameen.
