The Arab Community Centre in Britain was delighted to attend the Islamic Impact Investing Summit in London, hosted by Wellspring Ark. 🌍
The summit brought together inspiring people and organisations working across Islamic finance, social enterprise, philanthropy and impact investment. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, build new connections and explore future collaborations.
A particular highlight was the excellent panel:
“Backing Impact in the Arab World: Potential, Possibility & What It Takes”
Featuring Lama Amr 🇵🇸 from BuildPalestine and Suha Abdul Rahim from Alfanar Venture Philanthropy, the discussion explored how social entrepreneurs across the Arab world are creating meaningful change in challenging environments—and how investment, partnerships and stronger community networks can help unlock their potential.
