A view of how the bricks will be patterned for the Cambridge Mosque

This past Ramadan, we launched the Cambridge Mosque Brick by Brick appeal, in order to raise the estimated 350,000 bricks needed to construct our new building.

Our appeal launched successfully, with people all over the world excited to contribute bricks to the Cambridge Mosque. Donations were made in person, at the bank, online, by text and through our live television appeal on Channel S.

Alhamdulillah, through our collective Ramadan efforts, we have raised £94,952.85! That is a total of 67,823 bricks raised so far – almost 20% of our total goal!

This is a wonderful start to our Brick by Brick appeal, which will be ongoing until all bricks have been donated. We continue to encourage donations and fundraising ideas. If you would like to get in touch regarding further fundraising, please contact us.

Finally, a note of thanks from our Trustee,  Shaykh Abdal Hakim, who writes:  ”The fundraising campaign this Ramadan was truly excellent. May Allah reward all those who organised things so smoothly, including Channel S and the Cambridge volunteers. Inshallah their enthusiasm this Ramadan has made a big difference to our prospects for making a start on construction next year.”
