When members of the Wimbledon Mosque heard the story of a man who spent 15 years being cared for by the The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, they decided they needed to help.

The man passed away in June this year, but that didn't stop the mosque from getting involved.

The man's funeral took place at the Wimbledon Mosque. But that wasn't enough.

The mosque announced it has partnered with the hospital for its upcoming Exhibition Islam charity event.

Imam Shoaib Vawda from the mosque said: “The life of this individual taught us many lessons of gratitude in life.

"Being completely paralysed he still remained positive and never once complained about his circumstances.

"Any funds and awareness generated during the upcoming exhibition is our way of saying thank you to the exceptional commitment and service provided by the staff at RHN.”

Community and challenge events executive at the RHN Emma Carroll is looking forward to the support from mosque.

“All of the staff, patients and residents at the RHN would like to thank the mosque management for promoting the work we do at the RHN, and we look forward to participating in their upcoming exhibition,” she said.

There will be a public exhibition starting at 11am and finishing at 6pm on October 7 and 8.
