Wightman Road Mosque, also known as the London Islamic Cultural Society (LICS), has once again demonstrated its commitment to community service during the holy month of Ramadan and Eid-al-Fitr.
The mosque’s congregation came together to provide essential food donations and gifts to various local organizations and frontline workers in Haringey, Haringey.gov.uk reported.
As part of their Ramadan charity efforts, families at LICS packed and delivered Iftar boxes to North Middlesex Hospital, ensuring that patients and hospital staff observing the fast could break it with a warm meal.

“It’s heart-warming to see families and volunteers at Wightman Road Mosque rally round and support such local community initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan and Eid-al-Fitr,” said Cllr Ovat.
She highlighted the consistent charitable work carried out by Islamic centers across Haringey, particularly during significant occasions like Ramadan and Eid.
“Like all the other mosques and Islamic centres across our borough, a lot of goodwill gestures often take place around annual events like Ramadan, Eid and throughout the calendar year,” she added.
Cllr Ovat also praised the borough’s wider community spirit, acknowledging the contributions of people from all backgrounds who dedicate their time and resources to helping others.
“Through my close collaboration with the Haringey Multi-Faith Forum as well, I know people of all backgrounds and beliefs who selflessly devote their energy and resources to support others, and it’s that sterling community spirit that makes Haringey such a special and unique place to live,” she said.
Wightman Road Mosque’s Ramadan and Eid initiatives reflect the broader Islamic values of charity and compassion, reinforcing the strong bond between the mosque and the local community.
Through their continued efforts, LICS is not only providing practical support but also fostering a sense of unity and goodwill in Haringey
