Community Cohesion in Birmingham

This Mosque in central Birmingham is opening its doors over Christmas, offering free meals to homeless people. The Mosque is expecting hundreds of people in Christmas week and about 150 on Christmas day. They are partnered with Birmingham soup kitchen and a local church, and local businesses have donated money.

Kasim Choudry said, "Birmingham is an amazing city that thrives on diversity and together as one community we can unite as one to tackle poverty"
