Hawzah News Agency- The initiative brought together elderly residents for a three-course meal, entertainment, and free transport.
“Our campaign to tackle loneliness this year during Christmas has been a huge success and greater than what we had anticipated'', said Ms Mehnaz Bibi, Project Manager at Dynamic Social Care.
“Our event was unique because it was held at Shearbridge Community Hall which is part of Shearbridge Road mosque''.
“We talked building communities and how the sacrifices and contributions made by the older generation had been forgotten by society leading to them feeling forgotten about''.
By opening mosque facilities for the event, organisers said they hoped to create an inclusive and welcoming space for all.
Organisers said the event demonstrated how faith-based spaces can serve the wider community, especially during times when compassion and human connection are most needed.
