Bradford Council for Mosques launches £100’000 COVID-19 Mosque Support Fund

Bradford Council for Mosques (CfM) has earmarked £100,000 Mosque Support Fund in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This initial fund is available for mosques within the Bradford District that are in hardship to help with running and maintenance costs during the national lockdown and will be capped at £1,000 per application.

The scheme has been set up following the suspension of congregational prayers and teachings across all mosques and Muslim supplementary faith schools in Bradford during the COVID-19 outbreak. With many mosques financially reliant on income from the teaching of children and donations from the community, the scheme will
help to cover utility and other running costs during the lockdown period.
