British Garden Party

We’re inviting you to be part of our own Great British Garden Party, a relaxed bring-and-share picnic where everyone is welcome.

Umrah 2026

Join us on our yearly visit to the holy lands. Our journey begins in Manchester taking us first to Medina and then Mecca for a life-changing spiritual journey.

We know from first-hand experience how hard it is for converts around Eid time, a time that should be filled with joy and togetherness. To ensure that no one is alone, we have organised this online gathering of reflection, games, poetry, and discussion on every evening of every Eid.

Eid al-Adha Party & BBQ

Join us for our Annual Eid al-Adha Party, a joyful celebration for converts to Islam to connect, socialise, and share at this blessed time. Enjoy a fantastic BBQ, and fun interactive games in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Shaykh Mustafa Briggs (UK) gives 5 prophetic principles for caring for converts to Islam at the New Beginnings Annual Conference 2025

Shaykh Mustafa Briggs - The Prophetic Model of Caring for Converts to Islam

We unveiled two exciting major national initiatives that will radically improve and change the face of support for new converts in the UK:

1. The Shahadah Box Campaign – a bespoke pack that you can give to every new Muslim who does their shahadah, connecting them with local and national support from the New Beginnings community. Find out more at https://beginnings.org.uk/gift/

2. The Welcoming Newcomers to Islam Workshop – a practical blueprint to help communities improve care of converts to Islam from within. Find out more at https://beginnings.org.uk/workshop/

We called on all Muslims who care about convert support to join us in shaping a united and innovative approach to supporting converts to Islam.

New Beginnings Annual Conference 2025

Watch till the end!📺

New Beginnings hosted a remarkable and intimate gathering with special guests from @taleefcollective .

The event was held at the beautiful @ribeyesteakhouse and brought together both new Muslims and people who are not Muslim.

We delved into vital topics like preserving cultural identity and navigating the journey of faith one step at a time. The open and heartfelt discussions offered a fresh perspective on Islam, with many attendees expressing that they had never encountered such a presentation of the faith.

The collaboration with Ta’leef Collective was truly a blessing, and we look forward to future partnerships, God willing.

We are New Beginnings, are a non-profit charity committed to supporting new Muslims on their spiritual journeys. Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Support New Beginnings today!
