02 Activities

What the charity does

We have opened our purpose built Islamic Centre and are now open for daily prayers. Alongside this we have also started a supplementary (evening) school for children to learn about Islam and the Arabic language using modern textbooks. We happily host local schools and volunteer groups to learn more about Islam and we hope to provide further services to the community.
