Last weekend, members of the Muslimah Sports Association had the privilege of attending a private after-hours viewing at , one of London’s most beautiful and culturally rich spaces.

For many, museums, galleries and heritage venues can feel unfamiliar, inaccessible, or simply not designed with their communities in mind. Yet these spaces belong to all of us. Representation, visibility and a sense of belonging matter, and opportunities like this help break down barriers that may prevent people from engaging with arts, culture and history.

At Muslimah Sports Association, our work extends far beyond sport. While physical activity is at the heart of what we do, our mission is ultimately about empowering Muslim women to explore new experiences, build confidence, develop friendships and feel comfortable occupying spaces where they may not always see themselves reflected.

Visiting Leighton House together created an environment where women could experience the gallery in a way that felt welcoming and inclusive. Exploring the stunning architecture, intricate Islamic-inspired design and remarkable collection as a group encouraged curiosity, conversation and connection. For some, it was a chance to visit a cultural institution they may never have considered stepping into alone.

These shared experiences are important. They remind us that culture, heritage and learning should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background. By creating opportunities for women to explore together, we help build confidence that extends far beyond the gallery walls.

A huge thank you to the team at Leighton House for opening their doors and providing such a memorable experience. We look forward to creating many more opportunities that inspire our community to discover, learn and thrive.

🏆🐉 THREE-PEAT CHAMPIONS! 🐉🏆

Throwback to last Sunday when the MSA Dragons have done it again, claiming victory in the Charity Boat Race for an incredible third consecutive year!

In what was undoubtedly the most thrilling race yet, the Dragons battled neck-and-neck with Al Aqsa right to the finish line. Spectators were left on the edge of their seats as the two crews crossed almost simultaneously, with MSA securing the win by a breathtaking margin of just 0.03 seconds.

The determination, teamwork, and resilience shown by both teams made for an unforgettable race and a fantastic display of sportsmanship. Congratulations to Al Aqsa for pushing the champions all the way in one of the closest finishes the event has ever seen.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the event and helped raise funds for charity. Here’s to another incredible year of racing and community spirit!

Yesterday, we hosted a Menopause Awareness Workshop as part of the Sporting Equals SEMenofit programme, delivered by Veerpal Sandhu, an Advanced Clinical Pharmacist specialising in Women’s Health and Mental Health.

Veerpal delivered an informative and engaging session on perimenopause, menopause and post‑menopause, exploring symptoms, the support available, and practical ways women can navigate this stage of life with confidence and clarity.

A huge thank you to Veerpal for delivering such a brilliant and impactful session.

We’re also excited to be launching a new physical activity programme soon, as staying active can play an important role in supporting women through menopause.

🏆 THREE YEARS IN A ROW!🏆

A huge congratulations to the MSA Dragons on retaining their crown and becoming three-time Charity Boat Race Champions!🐉🥇

What an incredible achievement and a testament to the dedication, teamwork, resilience and determination of every woman who stepped into that boat. Year after year, this team continues to show what is possible when women come together with a shared purpose, support one another and refuse to settle for anything less than their best.

The is about so much more than winning. It is about community, representation, sisterhood and raising vital funds for important causes. To see Muslim women not only participating but excelling on such a platform sends a powerful message to the next generation that there are no limits to what they can achieve.

Retaining the title for a third consecutive year is no small feat. It takes months of commitment, early mornings, training sessions, sacrifice and an unwavering belief in each other. Every member of the team should be immensely proud of what they have accomplished.

Thank you to everyone who supported, organised, sponsored, volunteered and cheered from the sidelines. Events like these bring communities together and showcase the very best of what we can achieve collectively.

Here’s to celebrating another historic victory for the MSA Dragons and inspiring even more women and girls to get involved in sport, challenge themselves and lead from the front.

Champions once again. Three years running. The crown stays with the Dragons. 👑🐉

Well done to Al-Aqsa and Shadwell Dragons for their efforts and performance. Only 0.03 seconds divided us and Al-Aqsa in the final race!
