We are a local community group with the primary aim of reaching out to help people who are most in need. We receive food surplus from supermarkets within the area and provide for people and families who are going through financial difficulties and struggles within our community. Our work is making a real impact in people's lives and offers valuable support where it is needed most by ensuring people have food at their table. I believe that through the simple act of giving we can overcome many problems we can face in life whilst helping others in our neighbourhood through difficult times. Charity is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit, because it is said to both glorify and reflect the nature of God. ... Charity has two parts: love of God and love of man, which includes both love of one's neighbour and one's self. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul places the greater emphasis on charity (Love).As a community group this is what we endeavour to achieve. Objectives The object of Springwater community group is to carry on activities which benefit the community in particular - Provide Essential Food Supplies: Ensure that struggling families in derby ,burton ,Leicester,Nottingham and surrounding areas receive necessary food supplies, so no one goes hungry due to financial difficulties. - - Reduce Food Waste: Partner with local supermarkets ,Farash and food businesses to collect and distribute food items that are close to their sell-by date but are still safe for consumption, thereby reducing food waste and promoting sustainability. - Foster Community Support: Create a network of volunteers and community members to assist in the collection, sorting, and distribution of food, fostering a spirit of community support and cooperation. - Educate on Food Security: Educate the community on issues related to food security, nutrition, and sustainable practices to empower individuals and families to make informed decisions about their food consumption. - Collaborate for Advocacy: Work collaboratively with local authorities, charitable organisations, and other stakeholders to address the root causes of food insecurity and advocate for policies that support vulnerable populations.

Jamia masjid e bilal is a charitable organisation and is a integral part of the local community in Leicester. It is open 365 days a year across multiple times throughout each day. We also hold fundraisers for numerous causes which include emergency appeals in the UK and abroad As well as this we host several events to help and educate the community with examples including mental health events, kids retreats, and community fundays. The masjid also provides religious studies for children aged 4 and above. With the help of neighbourly I wish to continue to provide further charitable actions to those who are in need of basic needs/amenities We will be redistributing food at various times during the week at different times. However, a lot our redistributions are on the weekends as these are the days we receive our donations via neighbourly. Further to this we would be doing extra donations when we hold regular events such as gatherings for all at the mosque and also other events such as the community fun days/mental health events. It is also distributed when people break fast during Ramadan.  We distribute from the mosque itself. As mentioned, this is done mainly on weekends usually after specific prayers throughout the day or if events have taken place in the mosque grounds. We don't specifically identify users as such because we don't want anyone to feel uneasy about using donations/foodbanks. Therefore food/surplus donations are made readily available and provided to those who want to and will request at the mosque. It has been made available for all members of the wider community given the current economic climate. In addition, surplus donations are provided to people attending events held. There is never a charge for any of the food donated via Neighbourly and distributed via the charity.
