South Woodford Islamic Centre Donates £5,000 to children’s hospice

The South Woodford Islamic Centre has donated £5,000 to Haven House Children’s Hospice.

The donation, raised through contributions from worshippers during Friday prayers, will go towards funding the specialised nursing care, therapeutic activities and emotional support the Woodford Green hospice offers free of charge to families in need.

“Charity is a core tenet of Islam. In the last year, our congregation has raised £130,000 for global disasters and people in crisis,” said Head Imam Dr Mohammed Fahim.
