Masjid Ayesha launch pilot

Helping people reach the mosque, not just transporting them there.

SalahGo starts with one mosque, one route, one vehicle and one timetable. The first proposal is a Tottenham pilot around Masjid Ayesha, built for prayers, madrasa, classes, sisters' activities, elderly programmes and community events.

Qur'an 5:2 - help one another in goodness and mindful duty.

Launch film embedded for mosque partner demos and community presentations.

Pilot focus

One mosque, one route, one proof point

Dawatul Islam Community & Cultural Centre (Masjid Ayesha) becomes the first hub. The service should prove regular Friday demand before wider London expansion.

Launch operations

Volunteer capacity is part of the operating model

Some volunteer minibus routes may be possible without every driver holding D1, but only when the vehicle, payment, insurance and permit rules fit official guidance. We will check this with the insurer and qualified transport advice before carrying passengers.

Service line

What we should keep locked in

These principles stop SalahGo drifting into a generic taxi app. They should guide every screen, policy page and pilot conversation.

1

Membership-first, scheduled transport. It must not behave like an instant taxi service.

2

One mosque, one route, one vehicle and one timetable before wider London expansion.

3

The mosque is the hub. SalahGo supplies the app, route planning and support.

4

Accessibility is central: elderly, disabled, sisters, vulnerable riders and children are first-class users.

5

Madrasa journeys are a normal service option, with guardian and handover checks.

6

Safety and safeguarding are part of every journey, not an afterthought.

7

Keep public wording simple. Keep legal, pricing and operating assumptions in private documents until confirmed.

Audit notes

What the uploads tell us

Site prototype

Good rider-facing structure. Next step is to replace static sections with editable React content blocks and a real waitlist/signup form.

App prototype

Stronger phone demo. Madrasa is now part of the main booking flow. Next step is extracting screens into rider, driver and mosque team route groups instead of keeping all logic in one HTML file.

Pitch deck

Deck has 22 slides and an embedded film. Keep mosque-facing copy community-led; avoid publishing internal legal/pricing assumptions on the public site.

Compliance

Before real passengers, confirm permit route, insurance, DBS, safeguarding, data retention and member consent with qualified advisers.

Pilot geography

Masjid Ayesha, South Tottenham, Seven Sisters and West Green are clear enough for the first pilot narrative.

Community model

The strongest story is not 'a bus app'. It is mosque-led care, access and attendance.

Build sequence

From demo to operating pilot

Stage 1

Prototype Hub

Serve the uploaded public site, rider app and pitch deck through Next routes for demos.

Stage 2

Real React Flows

Replace iframe prototypes with reusable React screens for prayers, events, madrasa journeys, accessibility and sponsorship.

Stage 3

Pilot Backend

Add auth, member profiles, mosque hubs, bookings, stops, handover contacts and audit logs.

Stage 4

Payments And Sponsorship

Wire memberships, sponsored seats and Friday sponsorship once legal and policy wording is final.

Stage 5

Live Pilot

Run Masjid Ayesha as the first hub with one route, one vehicle, mosque team view, route list and impact reporting.
