Bradford Mosque Becomes Community Hub On Christmas Day
\n———————
\nThe mosque in Bradford, northern England, hosted a free Christmas Day lunch aimed at addressing loneliness among elderly people during the festive season, IQNA reported.<\/p>\n
Dynamic Social Care, a Bradford-based care service provider, organized the event at Shearbridge Community Hall, which is part of Shearbridge Road Mosque, The Telegraph and Argus reported.<\/p>\n
The initiative brought together elderly residents for a three-course meal, entertainment, and free transport.<\/p>\n
Around 80 people attended the lunch, including British Member of Parliament Naz Shah and local community figure Graham Swain.<\/p>\n
Organizers said the event focused not only on providing food, but also on restoring dignity, connection, and a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n
By opening mosque facilities for the event, organizers said they hoped to create an inclusive and welcoming space for all.<\/p>\n
In addition to the meal and activities, a raffle draw was held during the event, raising \u00a3370. All proceeds will be donated to a food bank in the Holme Wood area of Bradford, extending the impact of the initiative beyond Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
Organizers said the event demonstrated how faith-based spaces can serve the wider community, especially during times when compassion and human connection are most needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
