Rosebuds began in 2011 when its founder, Aysha, created a small space for Muslim women to come together, connect, and learn more about their faith and identity. What started from a place of curiosity and a desire for personal growth soon resonated with many others.
A weekly sisters’ circle began to grow as more women attended, shared their experiences, and encouraged others to join. It quickly became clear that there was a wider need for welcoming spaces where women could reflect, build friendships, and support one another.
Over time, what began as a small local gathering blossomed into something much greater. Women began stepping forward to organise activities, lead groups, and nurture their own communities.
Today, Rosebuds has grown into a nationwide network of sisters across the UK, united by a shared purpose — empowering women, strengthening communities, and creating positive change together.

Did Rosebuds receive any recognition?
In 2018, we were honoured with a Thank You Award from Bedfordshire Police for our impactful community work. We believe this recognition came from our strong networking efforts and our unwavering commitment to community cohesion.
Most recently, we were proud to be awarded the Muslim Women Awards 2025 - Community Spirit Award, a testament to the dedication, heart, and unity shown across all Rosebud Sisters chapters. This award reflects the countless hours our leaders and volunteers devote to supporting women, building safe spaces, and strengthening sisterhood across the UK and beyond.
These achievements continue to inspire us to grow, serve, and uplift our communities with sincerity and purpose.
Did you get recognised in other way or win any more awards
Our Rosebuds Bedford leader has been shortlisted for two award categories in 2025:
• Women of Inspiration Awards – Community Champion
• Luton and Bedfordshire Community Awards – Community Champion
Being shortlisted for both awards is a remarkable achievement and a testament to Rehana’s dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to supporting and uplifting her Rosebuds community. Her efforts continue to inspire us all.
