Muslim women's collective
The Muslim Women's Collective is committed to helping everyone understand the importance of sustainability. Through practical, culturally appropriate projects, the Collective is helping people to adopt healthier, environmentally friendly lifestyles, especially members of the Muslim community.
The Collective was established as an umbrella group in 2007 with the support of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and charity London Sustainability Exchange.
What does the Collective do?
The Collective works together on common goals. It acts as a forum to discuss the environmental, health, crime and anti-social behaviour issues of concern in the Borough. It also supports Muslim women’s groups to work together through coordinated projects to make their communities cleaner, greener and safer.
At the launch of the Muslim Women’s Collective,

Activities the Collective has delivered so far include:
- An environmental befriending scheme to help Muslim women take advantage of services such as recycling
- Football coach training for Muslim women, with an intention to expand this to swimming lifeguard training
During 2008/9, the Collective will be expanding its work programmes to include healthy lifestyles and recycling promotion activities.
