edd Swansea Mosque Annual Review 2022 sou amu alayku January 2023 _In The Name Of Allah (God), Most Gracious, Most Merciful_ All praise is due to Allah, and Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon His beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw), his family and noble companions. In 2022, the mosque had reinstated our usual programmes and services following two years of Covid-19 restrictions. The trust has continued to build upon the success of previous years by maintaining and increasing its services to the community. The Management Committee has also made significant progress with the Funeral and the Urban living development at the former mosque building. Our new funeral service project has been completed with a dedicated family viewing quiet space. In the interest in looking after the local community, the Mosque continued as previous years to facilities the with Covid and winter flu vaccinations. In November 2022, the Board of Trustees with an independent panel oversaw the election of a new management committee and welcome the new welcomed a new chair, Mr Koddus Ali and members onto our management committee. Later in November two long serving Board members resigned due to ill health. We thank both Dr A Rahman and Mr Muhammed Abdul Hye for their sincere service. May Allah (swt) reward them all abundantly all their efforts and contribution to society. May Allah rewards the devotion and dedicated commitments of the Management Committee past and present, the generosity of the donors, the hard and tireless work of all the volunteers and staff and continued support from the Muslim community of Swansea. _Syed Shadi Latif_ ## **Chairperson - Board of Trustees** Swansea Mosque ## Board of Trustees **----- Start of picture text -----**
