Asalaam Alaikum. It was an absolute honour and privilege to be invited to the mosque today. Myself and my Community Liaison Officer Jon Warburton had been looking forward to today for some time!
The purpose of the visit? to be presented with a large number of tents, sleeping bags and clothing items for Sloughs homeless community.
Saving lives involves more than just life support and hospitals. It requires proactive initiatives to support vulnerable people so that we avoid the life support and hospital bit! Things have gone too far when we get to that stage!
It’s far too easy when your sat in the warm, with three square meals cooked and presented before you everyday to simply forget that there are people struggling to survive out there.
To eat, to keep warm. To stay mentally well. To kick addictions and to just try to make the best out of a terrible situation. No one is protected from becoming homeless. It can and does happen to anyone.
Our teams see it on a daily basis. PC Medical Support Services provides thousands of pounds of complimentary medical cover to the homeless communities of East Berkshire. Yes you heard right, it’s completely free.
By teaming up with the Brothers from the Stoke Poges Lane Mosque we can make an even greater difference. At 3pm today the Secretary of the Mosque handed sleeping bags and tents to us. It’s now 18.45 and my teams are out there on the frontline distributing these items to those that are in desperate need. That is what we mean by rapid response!
I am honoured that the mosque chose us to donate these items to. Rest assured many people will benefit from these kind donations. We are hoping to do a great deal of work with the mosque in future.
I would like to thank Mr Latif Khan ( Secretary) Mr Mohammad Ikram ( Trustee) Mr Mohammad Ayub ( Trustee) Mr Umar Ansari ( Community outreach team) and everyone at the masjid for making this happen.
