- Iqra book drive - Collecting and bringing in Islamic books that are not used that can be sold to other people.
- Dessert and Snack Sale - Sold muffins, puddings, chocolate cakes and savoury snacks on the (17th September) wiladat of Imam Hassan (a.s).
- Islamic Art auction - Auctioning Islamic art (painting consist of Allah SWT names) on the Wiladat of Imam Hassan (a.s).
- Bucket Collection - Collecting loose change from community members.
- Selling Vouchers - Ramadhan Relief vouchers being sold each night.
Sr. Sidika Govani, the CoEJ Relief Representative for Peterborough Jamaat said: “I am very happy to see the participation and enthusiasm showed by the youths for charity. Peterborough Community members have been generous and it’s amazing to see how people come together for a good cause. It would not have been possible without the help and support of the president and all the volunteers of Peterborough. I pray to Allah (SWT) that their efforts are accepted (inshallah)”
President of Peterborough Jamaat, Moahmed Bhai Nanji, said: "Seeing the youth of Peterborough activities I know the Jamaat future is safe in their hands and there is no turning back, Inshallah"
