After a successful planning application to convert the former PUB, The York, to a Masjid, now called Masjid Sulayman Bin Dawūd, the first major renovation works to physically change the site to a Masjid have started.

We wish to raise £125,000 for the first phase of the works, as soon as possible.

The first phase of the works will focus on renovating the rear hall of the site and surrounding facilities so Salāh can be initiated, as soon as possible. The later phases will focus on all-out refurbishment and renovation of the remaining site.

Phase 1 will include:

New Wudhu and toilet facilities adjacent to the rear hall. Costing ~ £15,000

Full renovation of the rear hall and associated areas costing £80,000

- Aluminium Windows @ £20,000

- Doors and carpentry @ £10,000

- Heating @ £10,000

- Insulation @ 10,000

- Plastering and Decoration @ £10,000

Installation of a new stairway for access to rear fisrt floor space @ £5,000

Renovation of the rear entrance and additional prayer room @ £10,000

Repairing damaged tarmac and painting the entire car park @ £15,000

We request you alll to continue assisting us through your donations and du'ās.

As part of the Masjids Sha'bān and Ramadhān campaign we encourage all the congregation to play their part, by donating whatever they can as a one off donation or through setting up a standing order.

We also urge everyone to fundraise on behalf of the Masjid using the JustGiving Fundraising option.

Simply sign up at xxxxxxx, then follow the steps to commence raising donations.

You can choose a target amount to raise (£1,000, £2,000 etc.) and start fundraising from friends and family wherever they may be.
