The 2nd British Beacon Mosque Awards ceremony took place alongside the Mosque Expo on the 7th September 2019. The awards were created to highlight the pivotal role mosques and Islamic centres play in local communities and contributing to the UK’s social fabric. The initiative encourages institutions to strive for excellence in a variety of ways including youth outreach, practice of management and governance and mosque maintenance.

Shaukat Warraich, Founder and CEO of Faith Associates, said:

“The Mosque Expo and the Beacon Mosque Awards recognises how faith institutions contribute to our societal infrastructure and are key for progressing communities understanding of different cultures and faiths. By encouraging outstanding services and drawing in spiritual pioneers from around the country, it can inspire us to think of new ways to serve our local communities and foster community relations. All institutions must recognise their responsibility for shaping future generations and mosques are a key pillar responsible for teaching people how to respect one another from all faiths, backgrounds and ethnicities.”

Below are some of the highlights of the awards ceremony including the winners of the 10 categories:
