The Muslim Cultural and Welfare Association of Sutton has been recognised in a medal reception.

The event on Wednesday, February 8, was held in honour of the Prince of Wales’ Pakistan Recovery Fund.

The charity aims to help deal with the humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of the 2010 floods and to tackle its long term effects.

The reception commemorated Mosques in the UK which had contributed to the Prince’s fund.

Lal Hussain from Muslim Cultural and Welfare Association of Sutton was presented with a bronze medal for contribution to the fund.

Tom Brake, the MP for Carshalton and Wallington attended the reception and said: "The Pakistan Recovery Fund is a great charity doing fantastic work.

"The work Lal Hussain and all those at the Muslim Cultural and Welfare Association is to be commended.

"Although the spotlight may not be on Pakistan at the moment, it is so important that we do not forget how much support they continue to need."
