UK Islamic summer camp ‘risks radicalising children'
A summer camp sponsored by an Islamic charity accused of backing Iran could expose children to extremist views, it has been claimed. The camp, run by the Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM) charity, is aimed at children aged nine to 14, with activities including climbing and abseiling along with 'lectures and discussions'. AIM describes Camp Wilayah, which is set to take place in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, next month, as an 'amazing place to enjoy the outdoors, make new friends, learn and build on Islamic values'. It promotes the four-day camp as 'a unique opportunity to explore your true potential amidst the serenity of nature and an Islamic ambience!' Girls who attend are required to wear the hijab and are segregated from the boys, other than for daily prayers, talks and a team photo. In an indication of the kinds of activities children at Camp Wilayah are likely to take part in, one AIM video posted on Instagram shows a group of young boys and girls drawing and colouring in Palestinian flags and watermelon symbols. The children, described as Mahdi's Little Believers, can also be seen making kites – in an apparent reference to the paragliders used by Hamas on October 7 to attack southern Israel. Legal lobby group UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) criticised the activities shown as 'symbolically connecting very young children with nationalist resistance. This exploitation of cultural education is a way of embedding ideological allegiance at a formative age'. In social media posts AIM, based in Cricklewood, north-west London, repeatedly praises the leader of Iran's theocratic regime, Ayatollah Khamenei, declaring that his books are 'an excellent source of knowledge and a great read', and refuses to condemn Hamas. It also posted material shortly after the October 7 attacks stating that 'the Zionists brought this disaster upon themselves'. There are now calls for Camp Wilayah to be banned over 'urgent safeguarding and counter-extremism concerns' for the children attending. UKLFI warned that it 'is being hosted by a group that openly promotes the revolutionary Islamist ideology of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei'. It has written to Brent council, where AIM is based, and Hertfordshire council, where Camp Wilayah is to be held, warning councillors: 'There is compelling reason to believe that the event may be used as a platform to radicalise children, incite hatred or violence, and glorify terrorist ideology.' The group goes on to claim that 'of particular concern is AIM's use of social media to disseminate extremist content that is anti-Semitic and conspiratorial'. One video, titled 'Know Thy Enemy' features a speaker describing Jews as the 'harshest', 'squatters', 'settlers' and 'violent', while accusing Israel, the so-called 'squatter state', of having a policy of murdering children. It also calls moderate Muslims who may be tolerant of Israel 'filth'. 'Other posts glorify and encourage martyrdom and justify Hamas's 7 October 2023 atrocities by reframing them as legitimate acts of resistance, omitting any mention of attacks on civilians, and likening Gaza to Nazi concentration camps. Countless posts accuse Israel of genocide and liken it to apartheid.' A UKLFI spokesman said: 'AIM's deep ideological alignment with the Iranian regime and its record of extremist propaganda presents an unacceptable risk to children. We hope the local authority and other agencies will act decisively to protect vulnerable young people from exposure to harmful and radicalising content.' Lord Walney, the government's former extremism adviser, has raised his concerns over plans to stage Camp Wilayah this summer, saying: 'We cannot allow propaganda and influence from this theocratic dictatorship to be spread to children in the UK.' He added: 'It is deeply alarming that schoolchildren are being taken to these camps. This raises further questions about the influence of Iran here in the UK.' Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, has said that children should not be allowed to attend camps run by supporters of the Iranian regime. The concerns over Camp Wilayah come after Parliament's intelligence and security committee (ISC) warned on Thursday that the threat of physical attacks by Iran on the UK now matched that of Russia. The committee found that Iran's intimidation, including the fear of attacks on British Jews and Iranian dissidents living in the UK, was comparable in scale to the threat posed by Russia. AIM has run Camp Wilayah, which costs £180 per child, for a number of years. Pictures of the 2017 camp posted online show Hasan Ali al-Taraiki, a cleric associated with AIM, attending. In an interview posted on YouTube a year ago, he said that the persecution of Jews by Germany and European countries had been 'justified at the time'. Brent council told The Telegraph it had begun its own 'analysis' of Camp Wilayah and AIM's activities and was 'making its relevant partners aware'. A spokesperson for Hertfordshire county council said: 'We are aware of concerns around this planned activity camp, and we are working with partners to understand the situation and whether it raises any safeguarding issues.' AIM has been contacted for comment. It has previously defended its role, stating: 'The Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission serves communities in Britain. Unlike the roughly 3,000 Zionist organisations in the UK, it neither takes orders from nor represents the interest of any foreign power. 'We are proud of our record in opposing the 140-year Zionist campaign of genocide against the people of the Levant, which has included forced displacement, ethnic cleansing and indiscriminate aerial bombardment, among many other crimes.'

SMALL CAP IDEA: Investors hope Chancellor will restore confidence in public markets
Next week's Mansion House speech by Chancellor Rachel Reeves comes at a pivotal moment for the UK's small- and mid-cap ecosystem. Hopes are high that it will set out substantive measures to restore confidence in the public markets serving these companies, many of which are listed on the AIM and the lower tiers of the London Stock Exchange's Main Market. The timing is critical. After a prolonged drought in new equity issuance, green shoots are appearing across the small-cap landscape. In June, more than 40 companies raised funds through a variety of mechanisms, from traditional placings and retail offers to convertible loan note deals. July has continued at a similarly brisk pace. On one day last week, seven companies sought new capital. The largest of the June round was The Smarter Web Company, which secured more than £70million from investors backing its Bitcoin treasury strategy. And while crypto may have provided some impetus, the resurgence in fundraising has spanned sectors. Miners, technology groups and biotech firms have all tapped the market for much-needed cash infusions. Many of these raises have been modest in scale, but they are notable nonetheless given the barren first four months of 2025. That period exemplified a wider malaise; not just among the small-caps but across the UK stock market as a whole. The war in Ukraine not only drove energy prices sharply higher, but also unnerved investors, while trade uncertainty and the conflict in the Middle East dampened sentiment. No more acutely were these pangs felt than among those funds, family offices and private investors who traditionally back riskier, earlier-stage ventures through equity placings. And that stage-fright meant that most sat on their hands rather reach for their wallets. Cash is the lifeblood of the small-cap world. These companies are rarely self-sufficient. Their survival often hinges on the ability to secure fresh capital to scale up, access new markets, or simply cover running costs as they pursue profitability. When the flow of funds dries up, business failures tend to follow quickly. Alongside the funding drought, there has been a steady trickle of companies leaving AIM for private ownership, attracted by the absence of listing fees and the lighter regulatory burden. In 2024, 89 companies quit the market. Already in 2025, that figure is being approached. While it is too early to call a reversal, there are encouraging signs. Boutique investment bank Cavendish has reported increased activity in capital markets, attributing it to a weaker US dollar, rising political risk in the United States, and a growing investor awareness of the perils of being overexposed to American equities. As global portfolios begin to rebalance, undervalued UK stocks are coming back into focus. Peel Hunt, another firm deeply embedded in the small-cap space, struck a cautiously optimistic note last week. 'We continue to have a strong pipeline of M&A transactions, with a number of situations both announced and in process, it said in a statement ahead of its annual meeting. 'It remains to be seen whether a more general pick up in equity issuance and IPO activity will follow.' Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, investor sentiment 'appears to be increasingly resilient', the broker added. Yet the rise in mergers and acquisitions highlights a more fundamental threat to the UK's small- and mid-cap universe. The market is steadily losing its best growth companies to takeovers, while IPO activity remains subdued. Without a concerted effort to encourage listings and growth at home, this trend could accelerate. One obstacle is the steady outflow of UK capital from domestic equities. Charles Hall, Peel Hunt's head of research, has called for direct measures to reverse this. In a note published last week, he pointed to potential reforms of pensions, Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and stamp duty as ways to unlock more support for British firms. He also proposed the creation of a UK-focused fund to back scaling private businesses and to bolster IPOs and listed companies. Hall suggested the British Business Bank is well placed to manage such an initiative. All eyes will be on the Chancellor next week to see if the Mansion House speech delivers on this front. A clear plan to channel more capital into small and mid-cap companies would not only bolster confidence, but also help stem the slow erosion of the UK's growth stock base. After months of stagnation, the current uptick in fundraising is a welcome development. But without structural support, the sector risks reverting to decline. The opportunity to change that narrative lies squarely with the Treasury.
