Number of public events
Evaluates the commitment to hosting at least six public events annually. Public events are externally advertised gatherings open to non-members and the wider community (including online/hybrid). They exclude routine worship services (e.g., Jumu‘ah), internal member-only meetings/classes, and staff/volunteer trainings. A recurring series counts as one event unless each session has: (a) a separately advertised registration page or flyer, (b) distinct learning objectives, and (c) separate attendance and evaluation records. This practice embodies *ta‘āruf* (mutual acquaintance) and serves the public good (*maṣlaḥa*), building crucial bridges with the wider community, enhancing public trust, and fostering greater social cohesion.
| Metric | Number of public events |
|---|---|
| Target | ≥6 |
| Frequency | Annual |
| Method | Count of events meeting definition (series counts as 1 unless distinct) |
| Unit | Count |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
Ad-hoc approach: Fewer than six public events are held annually. No formal governance or risk assessment is in place.
Level 2: Developing
Quantitative target met: At least six public events are held. Basic compliance (insurance, risk assessment) is evident, but accessibility and promotion are inconsistent. Metrics focus solely on counting events.
Level 3: Established
Purposeful engagement: Six+ events held with signed governance approvals and completed accessibility checklists. Feedback is collected. Events align with ta‘āruf/maṣlaḥa. Data protection notices are visible.
Level 4: Advanced
Strategic outreach: Events exceed targets with high occupancy/engagement. Promotion is inclusive (plain-language, diverse channels). Partnerships are governed by MOUs. Detailed metrics (new attendees, conversion) are tracked. Safeguarding includes recorded 'regulated activity assessments'.
Level 5: Optimizing
Exemplary community building: A leader in engagement with ≥8 high-impact events. Trust/cohesion is measured year-on-year. Events are fully accessible and sustainable (ISO 20121). Post-event learning loops drive continuous improvement. Conversion rates demonstrate deep community integration.
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size
| Size | Applicability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | exempt | Mandating 6 public events per year and formal signed paperwork is disproportionate for volunteer-run micro charities. |
| Small | partial | Expectation of 6 events may be high; documentation and approval requirements should be simplified to match limited administrative capacity. |
| Medium | full | |
| Large | full | |
| Major | full |
