Amal works with many partners to enable creative endeavours that increase understanding of Britain’s Muslim communities among others and foster a stronger sense of belonging in the UK among our Muslim communities. We believe that engagement in arts and cultural activity broadens horizons and forges common ground within and between communities. Amal means “hope” in Arabic.  We offer a radical kind of hope that the UK, despite the divisions of recent times, can build ever more harmonious relations between its communities. Our vision is of a Britain in which Muslims are fully and fairly represented, equally valued, and celebrated for their rich and diverse contribution to British life.  In our work, we are guided by the values of compassion, conviviality and social justice.
