BCBN 1st Annual Event – West London Islamic Centre
On Friday 14th October 2011, the Better Community Business Network organised a prestigious and exclusive business networking opportunity and charity event.
The evening brought together an elite group of business leaders, professionals and dignitaries for an enjoyable evening of business networking, entertainment, exquisite dining and a true expression of the altruistic nature of our business community, with £209,000 raised on the night.
The West London Islamic Centre (WLIC) has served the Muslim community of West London for over 25 years. It is a regional branch of the UK Islamic Mission, one of the largest Muslim organisations in Britain.
The ever-increasing congregation and the popularity of the wide range of services provided have meant that the WLIC has outgrown its existing facilities. It is becoming increasingly difficult to effectively deliver even the basic services.
The administration has agreed terms for the purchase of additional land adjacent to the site. The proposal is to demolish the existing facility and construct a self-sufficient purpose-built Masjid and community centre over six floors, totalling approximately 63,000 sq. ft [5855 sq. m.]
The new centre will be amongst the largest in London and indeed the UK, with the capacity to accommodate 3500 people for the Juma prayer. The Centre will offer enhanced current services plus much needed additional services.
