The reason is that HCI is trying to work in areas that other well established Islamic charities have had little or no impact; thus we widen the scope of international charitable efforts.
We do not consider ourselves linked to one particular town or county. People attend our events from all over the U.K. - from Edinburgh to Surrey. So we consider we are serving the whole of Britain. HCI sees itself as complementing the work of the New Muslims project — not competing against it.
