The Cheadle Muslim Society writes:

Cheadle Mosque held its eleventh Open Day this month, blessed with great weather it was a great success with over 2000 people attending and through their generosity, over £4000 was raised for local charities. The charities supported this year included the Starlight Unit Children’s ward at University Hospital South Manchester, St Anne’s Hospice and The Seashell Trust. A proportion of the funds raised this year was also donated towards supporting destitute refugees.

Attendees were treated to the very finest cuisine, including fresh kebabs and fabulous curries as well as being entertained by Bouncing Boats, Go Karts, Animal shows and the Iron-man contest! The event was very inclusive with a whole cross-section of the community attending – it was very much a family occasion and it was lovely to see so many families attending and enjoying themselves.

Saeed Akhtar, the chair of the Mosque said “The Mosque is not just about prayer, it’s also a place where families can have a great time, people can get to know each other and much needed funds can be raised for local causes.
