Khidmah Organisation has not and does not see a contradiction in being Muslim and British. There are common themes that run through all communities, whether you believe in God or not. We all have values that we share and recognise, there are commonalities between us that bring us together.

Khidmah Organisation understands that all young people go through a period of anger and frustration, which is a normal part of transition from childhood to adulthood, and is especially prevalent among young men and those for whom questions of identity and belonging are problematic. The events and activities we hold are used as way of channelling these energies in a positive direction and developing key life skills.

Working at a community level we can generate alternative forms of activism for young people who could potentially be drawn into violent extremism. Khidmah Organisation offers a sense of belonging in the absence of which membership of extreme groups can seem attractive. With social isolation seemingly a key factor for people being drawn into extremism, feeling part of a group such as Khidmah that promotes and works with local and national government is crucial. It is worthy to note that Khidmah Organisation attracts over seven thousand young people to its events and has over four hundred young people on its volunteer list.
