Every meaningful space is shaped by the people within it.

A New Chapter for Roots

Alhamdulillah, today we're delighted to share some exciting news.

Roots has found a home within Quran Academy, and we're honoured to be partnering together in service of our community here in Newport.

For several years, Roots has grown through borrowed spaces, generous hosts and the unwavering support of our volunteers and community. This partnership marks a new chapter, giving us a dedicated space to continue nurturing meaningful opportunities for Muslim women and girls through faith, creativity and connection.

At the heart of this partnership is a shared intention: to serve our community with sincerity, compassion and purpose.

Allah says:

"The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong..."
(Surah At-Tawbah 9:71)

As Muslims, we are reminded that we are created to worship Allah and to be of benefit to His creation. We pray this space becomes one where people feel welcomed, supported and inspired for many years to come, inshaAllah.

A heartfelt thank you to Shaykh Najib, Br Ali and everyone at for their trust, encouragement and generosity in making this partnership possible. We look forward to working together, each bringing our own strengths, to better serve our community.

Roots will continue focusing on creating intentional spaces for Muslim women and girls, while working alongside Quran Academy as we grow this shared vision together.

There is much to do, and we're only just beginning.

Alhamdulillah for every step that has brought us here, and to everyone who has been part of the journey so far.

We can't wait to welcome you into the space very soon.

Tomorrow, we share something we've been praying, planning and preparing for.

A new chapter.

A new home.

A shared vision.

There's a feeling that comes before every new beginning.

A mixture of gratitude for what's been…

and excitement for what's still to come, in shaa Allah.

Can you guess? We're almost ready to share what we've been preparing.

Keep watching, everything will start to make sense.

The strongest communities are built when sisters come together with a shared purpose.

Over the past few months, we've been reflecting on how we can continue serving our community in meaningful ways.

Sometimes that means walking alongside others who share the same vision.

We're excited for what's ahead—and we can't wait to tell you more.

There's something special on the horizon.

Some journeys unfold exactly as we imagined.

Others become even more beautiful than we expected. Alhamdulillah.

We've been working on something that reflects everything Roots stands for:
community, faith and creating spaces where people can grow together.

We're not ready to share it just yet…

But we can't wait to welcome you into what's coming.

Just a little longer. Stay tuned.

We’re really proud to share this one
Story Quest has been such a special journey for us at Roots. What started as creative workshops with our children and community has now become a printed trail experience, out in the Newport Wetlands National Nature Reserve for families to explore.

Seeing it all come together like this and actually be published feels quite surreal. To know our community has contributed to something that sits in a wider, mainstream space, representing not just us but the wider Newport community, is something we’re really honoured by.

If you’re heading down to the wetlands with your family, make sure you pick up the trail and have a read. The children’s ideas and creativity are woven all the way through it.

A big thank you to National Literacy Trust for creating and supporting this project, with backing from and partnership

And a special thank you to everyone involved in bringing it to life
Simon Rees
Wendy Booth for such a beautifully imagined story, really shaped by the children
Andy O'Rourke for the illustrations that have brought everything to life so vividly
And NazCreates for creatively collaborating and shaping the workshop journey, bringing together storytelling, creativity and wellbeing in a way that felt natural for our group
We’re honoured to have been part of this

We’ve been quietly shaping something special behind the scenes.

With the input of our volunteers and community, we’ve been growing Roots with more intention, care, and a deeper understanding of the different seasons we each move through.

Like the budding of plants, we recognise that as women, teens, and girls, we each experience growth in our own time, in our own way.

Introducing three spaces within Roots, each created with intention, care, and growth in mind

Petals of Purpose
A space for women aged 18+

Rising Roses
A space for teen girls aged 12–17

Blooming Buds
A space for younger girls aged 7–11

Each one holds a different stage, a different energy and a space to belong.
More to come on, how you can be part of it, bismillah 🌿
