Project Timeline
Then:
From breaking ground to raising the steel frame, from community support to national attention - witness the remarkable journey of building the first masjid in South Lakes. Each milestone represents dedication, unity, and the power of community coming together for a shared vision.
We acquired the land for our major and outline planning permission was granted.
After lots of hard work by the team, we submitted a design for full planning permission and continued working to ensure it's approval.
Full planning permission was granted. This was a huge milestone in the history of the project. #hanunatullah
We submitted the pre-commencement conditions for the project.
The detailed specifications have been completed, highway works planning was signed off.
We completed the highway works and have broken ground. The first of the foundations has been laid #Alhumdulillah. We brought on board Chris and Ben (brand ambassadors) as we move forward with our fundraising, we have launched the million pound challenge!
Alhumdulillah, we raised enough funds during our Million Pound Challenge during the month of Ramadan to be able to continue the project. As we continue to lay the foundations, we will engage further with the surrounding community to foster better relations. Check out this video of the first foundations being laid!
