Jamia Masjid e Bilal

Leicester, UK

Jamia masjid e bilal is a charitable organisation and is a integral part of the local community in Leicester. It is open 365 days a year across multiple times throughout each day. We also hold fundraisers for numerous causes which include emergency appeals in the UK and abroad As well as this we host several events to help and educate the community with examples including mental health events, kids retreats, and community fundays. The masjid also provides religious studies for children aged 4 and above. With the help of neighbourly I wish to continue to provide further charitable actions to those who are in need of basic needs/amenities We will be redistributing food at various times during the week at different times. However, a lot our redistributions are on the weekends as these are the days we receive our donations via neighbourly. Further to this we would be doing extra donations when we hold regular events such as gatherings for all at the mosque and also other events such as the community fun days/mental health events. It is also distributed when people break fast during Ramadan.  We distribute from the mosque itself. As mentioned, this is done mainly on weekends usually after specific prayers throughout the day or if events have taken place in the mosque grounds. We don't specifically identify users as such because we don't want anyone to feel uneasy about using donations/foodbanks. Therefore food/surplus donations are made readily available and provided to those who want to and will request at the mosque. It has been made available for all members of the wider community given the current economic climate. In addition, surplus donations are provided to people attending events held. There is never a charge for any of the food donated via Neighbourly and distributed via the charity.
