The BMCC donated the money to Our Bolton NHS Charity to transform the well-being of staff, patients, and communities at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, The Bolton News reported.

“We at BMCC believe the act of local mosques giving donations to hospitals is a beautiful testament to the spirit of community and compassion,” Babu Adam, Chair of Bolton Masjid Chanda Committee, said.

“These generous contributions serve as a lifeline for hospitals, enabling them to support patients in need.

“By partnering with local mosques, hospitals not only receive financial aid, but they also foster a sense of unity and solidarity within the community.

“The collaboration between mosques and Bolton NHS Foundation Trust exemplifies the power of collective action and the importance of extending a helping hand to those who require it most.

“We will continue doing this as it is charity, which is encouraged in our religion, Islam.”
