In the charity's own words
The trustees are responsible for running the Worcester Central Mosque where the five daily fard prayers, the Friday jumu'a prayer, the tarawih prayers in Ramadan and the two annual 'Id prayers take place. There are also educational and interfaith activities. Everyone is welcome. We are acquiring suitable land on which to build a purpose built eco-friendly mosque which is our main focus at present.
