In the picture you can see Mubinul Hoque who owns Portland Fish and Chips in Brunswick, Liverpool. This story is about something that Mubinul and his team did on Christmas day.
What do you think they did?
Mubinul opened his fish and chip shop on Christmas day and served free food for anyone who wanted it. Mubinul particularly offered his fish and chips to older people, vulnerable members of the community or anyone who was alone on Christmas day.
People could have chunky fish fingers, fish and chip barms and fresh tea and coffee, all free.
What is a fish and chip barm, does that have a different name where you live?
Why do you think Mubinul did this?
What is a vulnerable person?
Why particularly invite people who are alone?
Mubinul said, "We give back and we do a lot of charities. It's in our belief, in our religion. Christmas day was one of those things where we don't celebrate ourselves so we would have been just shut. So it was like, why don't we give back to the community?"
Mubinul says "It's in our religion" but he doesn't say which religion; why not? Which religions don't celebrate Christmas?
If Mubinul doesn't celebrate Christmas, why is he inviting people who do celebrate it to visit him?
This is the second year running Mubinul has opened on Christmas day and given away food. He says, "We just thought it would be amazing and the response we got last year, I couldn't actually believe it."
"It was more emotional because I was thinking it's such a special day. Everyone wishes they had good family and friends but you don't realise how many people are by themselves and they just need that little talk."
Why is Mubinul calling Christmas a special day when he doesn't celebrate
it?
Why does Mubinul say people need a little talk?
Do you agree or disagree? Why?
What do you think is the impact of Mubinul's actions on the community?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British Value is this about?
