Quwwat
Six organisations, one platform: a site for each, a portal for families, an app for staff and one admin behind it all.
Quwwat in Preston runs a masjid, a madrasah, Little Sparkles Nursery, Maktoom (a SEND madrasah), an academy and a charitable foundation. We built the platform they all run on.

01 · The challenge
Each arm had grown its own tools. Donations lived on one site, membership on another, the madrasah on a third-party system, and nursery admissions, staff leave, Nikah and funeral bookings ran on paper, spreadsheets and the phone. Families had several logins, the office kept several back offices, and nothing knew that the parent paying fees was also the member giving on a Friday.
02 · What we built
One platform on quwwat.org.uk. Every arm gets its own public site and theme. Parents and members get a single portal for fees, absences, applications and giving. Staff get an app for registers, leave and cover. The office gets one admin for the register, fee ledgers, admissions, membership and bookings. It started as a single fundraising campaign in May 2026 and grew service by service from there.
