Assalamu alaikum. Congregate is a free, open framework that helps the masaajid, charities and people already doing the work in a town coordinate across every life stage, without a new umbrella body. You can read it, run a self-audit and find where you could serve here: [the link]

Assalamu alaikum, I would like to share Congregate with you. It is an open framework for local Muslim communities. It gives the masaajid, youth groups and charities that already exist one shared standard: eight pillars that follow a person from the first days of life to the last, a self-audit, and a starter kit for a six month pilot in one place. It is not a new organisation. Your masjid keeps its name, its governance and its donors. You can look around, and try the self-audit privately in your browser, here: [the link] It would be good to hear what you think.
In thirty seconds, out loud
For a meeting, a khutbah announcement or a phone call.
Most towns have plenty of people, money and buildings. What they lack is a shared way to hand people on from one stage of life to the next, and to see the whole picture. Congregate is a free framework for that. It has eight pillars, from early life to elders, a self-audit so you can see where you stand, and a starter kit to prove it in one place first. Nobody has to merge or rebrand. It asks for a small group of people who already care, and a few hours a week each.
