Green Lane mosque in Birmingham has opened its doors to homeless people who are enduring the cold temperatures on the city’s roads. The Mosque and Community Centre have launched a winter freeze venture to help secure rough sleepers as temperatures tumble to zero and below amongst the present day. The thought was created by Humayun Saleem, the head of welfare administrations at the centre, who is worried about the expanding number of homeless people in the city during the sharply cool climate.
The task launched two weeks back and when the mosque opened its doors on the primary night, four of the homeless people were welcomed on board under the plan. By the third night, there were twelve homeless people who had gone towards the warmth of the mosque as rain set in and word spread. One person is an impaired man in a wheelchair. On his first night, he made towards the mosque on public transport via bus, joined by another homeless companion. The companion said that they had turned out to be mindful of the mosque being open after volunteers passed out leaflets to the homeless in the downtown area on earlier evenings.
They chose to try it out after the temperature had turned out to be cold to the point that neither of them said they could feel their hands or feet. Kamran Hussain, who was recently selected as the general supervisor at the mosque, said that although numerous associations are working superbly in giving free food out, the homeless should be off the streets in this type of weather.
Kamran also stated: “Strolling around the city during the evening you see all the homeless crouched in doorways. They rest on solid floors in cold temperatures. In Birmingham, there have been instances of homeless freezing to death and we need to help them to stay away from this.”
GLMCC are giving away opportunities for free medium-term remains in their large community hall, where they will serve food, beverages, snacks and a warm tea to those who are staying over. The project is pursuing for half a month, which they will evaluate as the year continues.
Humayun Saleem, head of welfare administrations, who has been in charge of the undertaking, stated: “We have had neighbourhood takeaways and restaurants partaking by giving free food. We had a decent reaction from our demand for nourishment from nearby eateries that the volunteers have possessed the capacity to return out each night and disseminate sustenance to the harsh sleepers. On our first night, we distributed 50 packs of foods in minutes. Our services strengthen everybody, which regardless of any race, belief or background as we don’t separate. Individuals are in need, and it’s our Islamic duty to help others around us.”
