WFU aims to research the needs of local Muslims, study available facilities that provide possible solutions and work towards filling gaps in essential services.

We hope to represent Waltham Forest Muslims in engagement with civic bodies and to build bridges with other faith and no-faith groups via a multi-faith approach.

The core objectives of the WFU are:

• To preserve, safeguard and enhance the faith (Iman) of local Muslims, individually and at a societal level.
• To address current social challenges and offer religious guidance in dealing with these.
• To serve the wider non-Muslim community in Waltham Forest whereby reviving the true values of humanity in Islam.

WFU acknowledges the good work being carried out by several organisations with similar objectives; and aims to support, train and offer scholarly and expert advice to them, such as:

• Civic Bodies
• Local mosques
• Muslim schools
• Muslim charities/organisations.
• Waltham Forest Council of Mosques

WFU operates independently from any of the above organisations with a collaborative approach and does not wish to conflict with the scope and core aims of the above organisations and groups.

Our work is categorised into the following areas:

• Family & Welfare
• Public Sector & Representations
• Organisations & Development
• Youth & Outreach
