Finsbury Park Mosque

Finsbury Park Mosque focalises women’s services at the heart of their mosque.

Finsbury Park Mosque as part of the Islamophobia awareness month this November and in partnership with Mend and Islington Police, organised a “Responding to fear” event after Friday prayer where around 70 women attended. There was also a police Q & A session on how they should act and what steps they should take if they become subject to Islamophobic attack, especially beacuse  75% of Islamophobic hate crimes reports are from Women.

Furthermore at Finsbury Park Mosque the Sisters section organised an informative session on how we can save

the climate by saving energy and money. They invited SPIRIT, the organisation which

gave training to members of the community to become an Energy Saving Champion and reduce their energy use. The session discussed

– Free energy & water saving advice

– Advice on switching energy tariffs

– Installation of free water-saving devices and an energy monitor

– Signposting to further support available for debt relief, repairs & other local

benefits

– Training in delivering energy efficiency advice

Finsbury Park Mosque organised a female led child safeguarding training as part of its series of safeguarding events to its staff, teachers and volunteers under the title “Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility”, to help identify and prevent child abuse, and to train and raise awareness among staff members on safeguarding children in the work place.

They also run a Youth Club for Girls, a Tajweed Class for Sisters, Quran classes for sisters who are beginners and Women’s self defence classes.
