"Social inclusion and the empowerment of young people and women from all backgrounds are essential to solving the root causes of radicalisation, extremism and hate crime. Your projects demonstrate the importance of the work you and other organisations do to address these issues that help the most vulnerable in our country."

"I personally see this as an excellent example of the importance of community-led schemes in tackling extremism online; thank you for your work."

"...the effects of 7/7 have also had an extraordinary effect on her life. That's because Sajda now runs one of the most important NGOs in the country: The JAN Trust. It’s a charity dedicated to fighting and preventing extremism in the UK..."

"I am pleased to send my best wishes to JAN Trust and would like to commend JAN Trust on the work they have achieved for Black, ethnic minority and refugee women in London. It is great to hear that you are improving the life of local communities and making a real difference. You have made a tremendous effort in dealing with social inclusion, raising aspirations of Black minority ethnic and refugee women and relieving poverty amongst this group and I would like to wish you continued success in all that you do."

"I appreciate that this project has taken a direct approach to provide women with the relevant tools, knowledge and support to positively engage with young people on their online interactions. Your project is playing an important role in helping build their capability to safeguard children and young people."

"The wide ranging work of your organisation that you describe to tackle extremism in communities, and particularly among Muslim women, is commendable."

"I was struck by your reference to enabling vulnerable communities to feel part of society rather than apart from it. It is salutary to consider the experiences that must have led the Trust to describe its work in such terms."

"Your programmes look to be ambitious and wide ranging which is commendable. Like many organisations across the country your contribution enables those at risk from radicalisation and isolation to fully engage in British life."

"The work undertaken by the JAN Trust and in particular their CEO Sajda Mughal is highly commendable. As a survivor of 7/7, Sajda has now dedicated her life to tackling extremism within her own Muslim community. To show such forceful resistance in the face of hate is truly admirable. The JAN Trusts’ holistic approach to tackling extremism, by encouraging, empowering and educating BAME and Muslim and women through a variety of educational projects including its Web Guardians™ programme, is of great public benefit and is certainly a significant reason why they are regarded as one of the best charities in the field. We must learn from them, as their work plays a vital role in creating cohesive and safe communities for all."

"JAN Trust is an excellent and very worthwhile organisation that does a tremendous amount to help women from disadvantaged and ethnic minority backgrounds. I was very impressed with the work when I visited the charity, and I will continue to support and wish the trust continued success with their invaluable work."

"We welcome the superb work being undertaken by NGO's and community organisations such as JAN Trust on the issue of forced marriages.....Your emphasis on empowerment and citizenship is one that we particularly support and your expertise working with women and communities is extremely valuable."

"Your charity has an impressive track record in this field, providing a visible and valuable front in tackling extremism ideology in Britain today."

"I applaud JAN Trust's original and imaginative work in supporting mothers to keep their children safe online.  Their work on combating extremist ideologies at a community level is vitally important - we have seen too many vulnerable young people led astray, causing distress to their families and in some cases wasting their entire lives.  As the Labour's Party Faith Envoy, I support JAN Trust's commitment to a harmonious and inclusive society which draws strength from the contributions of its distinctive faith communities."

"One of the current leaders of the JAN Trust narrowly escaped death on the London underground on 7/7. Her experience then illustrates most forcefully the vital work of the Trust in fighting against violent extremism, in helping Muslim communities to integrate into British society and in emphasising the great potential of women in ethnic minorities to make these objectives succeed."

"I welcome the role of JAN Trust in empowering people from Black minority ethnic communities, especially women, in supporting them to build their skills and self confidence to enable them to play a proactive role in their communities and wider society."

"It was encouraging to hear about the wide range of work being undertaken by JAN Trust.....The women learning English at the Trust seemed very happy and positive – and from the conversations I had with them, it is clear that the lessons are really helping with their language skills. It was like a mini United Nations, with women from all over the world – Vietnam, Iran and Poland, to name a few! The Trust are working on and raising awareness of really important issues, and I wish them all the best with their campaigns and work in the future."

"We value the work that JAN Trust does to empower people from Black minority ethnic communities, especially women - helping them to acquire leadership skills, engage and participate in civic society and to build their skills and self confidence to enable them to play a pro active role in their communities and wider society. We often hear that 'we are all in this together'. All of us have a role to play in the Big Society which we can all contribute and from which all can benefit. The result will be a safer stronger society in which everyone is valued and can play an active part. JAN Trust is helping this to happen and they should be congratulated for their work."

"I'd very much like to commend JAN Trust on all the hard work they have achieved Black, refugee and ethnic minority women in London. I know that this hard work will continue and make such a difference to so many people. I wish you every continued success for the future."

"I do appreciate and commend JAN Trust which is involved in empowering women and young people in order to help them integrate into the British society. The organisation has achieved considerable success and I hope that they go forward from strength to strength."

"The Metropolitan Police Service is working closely with JAN Trust. The work that JAN Trust carries out with women and young people is a great contribution to community safety."

"JAN Trust's commitment to helping women from disadvantaged and ethnic minority backgrounds find empowerment and independence through its services and activities particularly education and training should be applauded and replicated across our communities ."

"JAN Trust are the true front line when it comes to supporting individuals, families and whole communities who are facing extreme poverty and social disadvantage, and we congratulate you for this incredibly important work."

"I would like to commend JAN Trust for its hard work in the community. The work of JAN Trust in training, mentoring, counselling and providing social support for women, especially from Black minority ethnic communities has a really important role to play in society."

"I was really impressed with the work that you have led at JAN Trust, and the positive change you have inspired in the women who have participated in the Trust's work."

"Haringey Council is delighted to assist and support JAN Trust in its work with BAME, refugee and asylum seeker women. We recognise the barriers these women face in gaining language skills and confidence, accessing employment and moving out of poverty. We see JAN Trust's services as making an important contribution to improving the lives of the most vulnerable women in our borough and look forward to working with JAN Trust for many years to come."
