A mosque is preparing to donate food to people in need during Ramadan.
Hendon Mosque and Islamic Centre, in Brent View Road, West Hendon, received £500 worth of rice, cakes, corn oil and other foodstuffs to help people during the Muslim holy month.
The food was donated by shoppers at Tesco stores in Hendon and Colney Hatch, and was delivered to the mosque on Friday, June 19 in a delivery van partly design by schoolchildren.
Sayed Kadri, general secretary of the mosque, thanked people for their donations, which he said “exemplified” the spirit of Ramadan.
The 73-year-old, of Dartmouth Road, West Hendon, added: “This is a very special time for Muslims all over the world. Ramadan is the time for charity contemplation and community.”
