How To Build A Team

Everything you need on your journey to change the world!

The very first thing is to make sure any volunteers and team members understand WHY they take part in Charity Week.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended…” [Bukhari and Muslim]
