100-day Pledge: Engage local MPs and Councillors in order to canvass their support for our aspirations of building a new Community Centre.
Engaging with local MPs and Councillors is a very important task in building the new centre as they may be able to help us by pointing us in the right direction of opportunities for the community. Furthermore, it is our duty as Muslims to engage with wider society because we have a responsibility to understand the issues that our facing people today and help to devise solutions for these issues.
In order to meet the pledge of canvassing the support of the local MPs and Councillors, I have written to the following individuals in order to arrange a meeting in order to introduce our community and its aspirations.

| Roger Godsiff | MP for Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath | Arranged a meeting for Thursday 5th July. |

Councillors for Sparkbrook Ward (The area where our current centre is located) | All three councillors are co-ordinating their diaries and will get back to us on availability. |
| Yvonne Mosquito Tahir Ali Chauhdry Rashid |
Councillors for Nechells Ward (The area where the Mattew Boulton Site is located) | Again, we are trying to co-ordinate diaries with the councillors. |
The emails that I have exchanged with the MP and councillors have sounded positive and Inshallah, as and when these meetings take place, we will publish an update on the website.
