Several candidates have been contacted and informally interviewed, and further discussions are in progress to ensure the selection of the most suitable individual who can effectively lead the community and fulfil all the requirements of the position.

Once again, we extend our sincere welcome to Mr. Zahoor Ahmed and wish him every success in his new role as Second Imam.

Please share with friends and family in the Gillingham area — limited spaces available!

We share our heartfelt shock and sadness at the attack in Southport this week where 3 innocent children had their life senselessly taken away, and many other adults and children were injured and traumatised. We grieve with the families and friends and of all of those people affected.

Who can not be affected by such a terrible tragedy?

Our support, condolences, and thoughts are for the victims and their families and for the community.

It is sad to see that at a time when groups should be coming together to support the victims, far right groups have attempted to exploit the tradegy to further their prejudicial aims.

This tradegy should not lead to further tradegy due to misinformation and the eagerness to quickly jump to false conclusions.

There is a public responsibility not to utilise such events to fan the flames of predjudice and violence.
The public have been let down by a liberal attitude to far right misinformation and fake news, and decades of various governments failures to address the growing problems of mental health (especially for those individuals with a history or risk of violence) in the community since the introduction of care in the Community as a policy of the Margaret Thatcher government in the 1980s.

We stand against violence, and we stand for community safety and welfare and the protection of vulnerable people young or old.
