Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah

In East Ham South we have a growing Muslim community but lack of place of worship. Alhamdulillah, at the beginning of 2020 we secured the lease of a beautiful  building that served the community for the past 3 years. We have outgrown the existent building, but by the will of Allah the building next door is for sale and we have made the commitment to purchase the building. Please join us and help us by donating and sharing this information widely. 

We need to raise £700,000 by the end of July 2023 to complete the purchase and carry out essential renovations.

This place of worship will provide an educational, social and cultural needs of the community. Our centre will be the hub of community activities and centre of excellence.

Our blessed Muhammed (peace be upon him) told us - “If you help to build a Mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah will build a house for you in paradise.” 

Please help Central Park Education & Welfare, Thank you.

May Allah accept all your efforts, your donations and grant you success in this world and the next.

A Message From The Trustees

About Us

Central Park Education & Welfare was founded in 2020 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing educational, social and cultural needs of the community. 

Our long term ambition is to acquire permanent premises in the East Ham South area, to establish a place of worship, community activities and services benefitting both Muslims and the wider community.

Our Appeal - A Golden Opportunity!

We opened the doors to the East Ham South community to provide an educational, social and cultural needs of the community in 2020. Within a few weeks, numbers had grown through word of mouth, and we are at full capacity. Our community Iftar event during Ramadan was over-subscribed, and over 300 people attended Eid-ul-Adha prayers in the Park.

The Muslim community in East Ham is made up of a wide and varied demographic, and makes an essential contribution to the fabric of the area. It is clear that our social, spiritual and educational needs continue to grow, even while there are other places of worship in surrounding areas.

We now have a unique opportunity to acquire a truly spectacular building next door.  If we were to succeed in establishing our centre here, we would be able ensure that in addition to meeting the current needs of local Muslims, we would be securing a valuable asset within the community, and would secure a legacy for generations to come.

This project will not be easy and will take time, however it will only be possible with the support and contributions of the local community. We therefore appeal to you to donate generously and help us in whatever way you can to secure a unique legacy in the East Ham South area for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

What do we need now?

The purchase price is £700,000 for the entire building.
With your help we can make this happen Insha'Allah 

The Annual Boat Race​ with the Al-Noor Foundation

The Annual Boat Race is an event which has been established by the Al-Noor Foundation in the Summer of 2018, at Fairlop Waters in the London Borough of Redbridge. The next event takes place this year on the 8th July 2023

The event is open to all schools, faith groups, charities and corporate organisations. The event aims to unite the community whereby individuals, families and organisations have the opportunity to raise money for charitable causes which are close to their hearts, by simply registering for a boat and participating in the race.

Boat races are part of the great heritage of British culture and an amazing way to unite both competitors and communities together behind a common cause. Dragon Boat racing is something which is growing in popularity in the UK, originating from Southern China’s Guangdong Province.

The boats we will be using can accommodate up to 17 riders at a time and will be provided by a specialist Dragon Boat company which the Foundation has partnered up with to run the event.
