General InformationNominating Charities


As the Muslim Elders Association, our strategy is raise funds and donate those funds to established local, regional, national, and international charities to help the most deserving of people.

Any member of the public is able to nominate a charity of their choosing. Our executive committee shall review the work the nominated charity offers and, after a due diligence process, the charity is able to become a beneficiary of the funds collected.

The process is very simple and the more charities we can assist the better.

Find out more on charitywalkforpeace.org or contact us using the details provided at the end of this presentation.

General InformationMatched Funding


We have thousands of volunteers who use various methods to collect funds. These include the traditional sponsorship forms; bucket and tin collection; charity dinners and corporate funding. We then use these funds to match, up to a pre-determined maximum amount, the funds collected by the specific charity.

The matched-funding scheme is primarily focused at helping the smaller local charities to work with us and create awareness for the work we do together to help and assist the most deserving.

You can contact us or complete the online form on our website.

General InformationCharity Champions


Every year, men, woman, and children raise thousands of pounds for charitable causes. Amongst these great people are those that work tirelessly to raise £1000 individually, some raising as much as £15,000!

To recognise such amazing achievement we say a big THANK YOU to them and honour them and the charities who use that money to help the needy with a special dinner where we shall present to the audience with exhibitions and productions of the work our beneficiaries perform and we shall also be awarding our new Charity Champions boxed jacket and blouse badges.

General InformationWorking With Us


Everybody is Welcome!!

Every year we not only donate more but we make new friends. Last year alone over 50 charities had been nominated as a beneficiaries of the walk, with many attending the walk, including schools, charity organisations, church and faith groups, MP’s , Mayors and Councillors.

As long as we all focus on our principle objective -

Our mission is to help society, to support charitable endeavours, to work to secure the common good, to demonstrate loyalty to country and nation, and to defend the dignity of mankind.

then we can make a great difference to those less fortunate and work together in total harmony.

Charity Walk 2017

I am delighted the annual Ahmadiyya Muslim Association’s Charity Walk for Peace is being held in Newham this year.

This is the most ethnically diverse place in England and Wales and the Association’s aims mirror our work to develop strong, cohesive and integrated local communities.

As well as bringing people from a wide range of backgrounds and faiths together, these walks also raise money for local and national good causes. I hope this year’s walk proves to be the most successful yet.
