In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Introduction: On behalf of the trustees and the Executive Committee of Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque (RCCM) and myself, I welcome you to the general meeting with a warm greeting and thank you for your encouragement and support to improve the quality of services at RCCM. It is with a great honour to present you the annual Report of RCCM for the year 2021/2022. We have had another outstanding and busy year at Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque with enjoyment and excitement, particularly the regeneration scheme was the more enthusiastic initiative for us and the local residents.
A brief background of establishing, “Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque” RCCM:
RCCM is a voluntary charity registered organisation, which has 24 years of experiences in working for the community in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The works, we have done so far with support and encouragement from our trustees, general members and local people, we can now claim that Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque is one of the biggest and thriving organisations in Tower Hamlets. Therefore, we the trustees have full confidence that we can fulfil the needs and demands of our local community.
The organisation was established in July 1998 with the core aims and objects as follows:
-
a) By relieving persons who are in needs by reason of poverty, age or infirmity;
-
b) By advancing education in Bengali, Arabic and other subjects in the National Curriculum;
-
c) By advancing the Islamic religion and promoting good relation between persons of different religion faith;
-
d) To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure occupation of individual who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity, or disability, financial hardship or social circumstance with the object of improving their condition of life.
-
e) Working with local authority to achieve a stand -alone building for RCCM.
RCCM is a non-profit, non-political organisation. At the beginning of establishment, the name of our organisation was, “Redcoat Community Centre”. In 2011, we added Mosque to our organisation’s name and the new name is “Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque”. We registered with the Charity Commission, England in the name of Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque in February 2011. Therefore, our legal name is Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque .
In December 2000, we built the Hall 1 with support of SRB (Single regeneration budget), with support of our regular worshipers and local community we built Hall 2 in 2005, Hall 3 and 4 in 2008 and Hall 5 and 6 in 2011. We also build the canopy in December 2010. We obtained 25 years lease in March 2011.

Regeneration scheme
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (the landlord) decided to redevelop Clichy Estate where we are located. The council decided to provide 412 affordable new homes for the residents of Clichy Estate to bring the housing list down. As part of the redevelopment the council is offering Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque a replacement.
We had numerous meetings with officers, local councillors and Mayor to discuss a better deal for the community and Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque. We are in process to negotiate a good deal for us so that we can continue our existing activities and add more activities for local people including young.
Stand-alone building: At our first meeting with the council, we expressed our desire for a stand-alone mosque. We also explained that we will accept a small space than the current occupied space even a different location, for instance the green space in between Pattison and Apsley houses. However, the council’s response was:
“Jane Abraham, Interim Head of Capital Delivery, re-iterate that a stand-alone mosque is not an optimal use of land”. Nearly every meeting, we raise the issue and explained the importance of a stand-alone mosque for examples:
We expressed our desire for a stand-alone building on10/4/2019 in our first meeting with council. We said RCCM still preferred a stand -alone building on 9/07/2019 . On 20/10/2019, we also mentioned that the committee will agree for a smaller space if the council provide us a stand-alone building. Mahbub Hossain (MH) stated that the community, residents and service users want a stand-alone building with a freehold on 20/11/2019 . MH issued a letter to JA and provide a copy to WO, making formal representation of their request for a stand-alone mosque on 20/11/2019 . SU (Salim Uddin) stated that a stand –alone mosque continues to be RCCM’s preference.

The Letter to the Council regarding a stand-alone building for our mosque

Ms Jane Abraham,
- Interim Head of Capital Delivery, Tower Hamlets
18[th] November 2019
Dear Ms J Abraham,
First and foremost, on behalf of Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque (RCCM), I would like to commend you for your professionalism in respect to the recent talks. This approach has instilled in us great confidence towards building a genuine relationship in order to find a way forward for the redevelopment in Clichy Estate. Based on the discourse we’ve had thus far, we feel strongly that the final outcome will be positive. Nonetheless, there are some issues I’d like to discuss further.
Firstly, we as a committee feel that a stand-alone building is in the best interest for both parties. This is because RCCM attracts thousands of people daily. Having such a number of people inevitably leads to noise and commotion, and we know that this will cause a lot of disruption for the residents of the new building. To help put this in perspective, I have attempted to describe the activities of RCCM:
-
Daily cumulative attendance: minimum of 1000 people 2. Education: there are a number of activities that take place such as supplementary classes (Arabic, Bengali, English and Maths) for children every day between set hours after school, weekly women’s programmes and courses for the elderly
-
Five daily communal prayers: starting in early hours of the day (5am) and ending late hours in the night (11pm)
-
Special Friday prayer: attracts minimum of 3000 people at one congregation on a regular basis
-
Ramadan nights: attracts minimum of 1000 people every night for 30 nights in a year
-
Eid: twice a year, attracts thousands for prayers, social events, fun day
-
And much much more! – please find the attachment for more information
As you might understand from the above, RCCM is literally open from the morning prayer time till the late night, and there are people coming in and out all the time as well as there being fixed times, where the movement of people increases. The nature of the activities that take place at RCCM i.e. communal gatherings for education, socialisation, seminar and worship inevitably will be noisy and thus disruptive.
We also feel that our service users, i.e. the local community, will feel like they’ve lost self-determination and autonomy if the centre is based in ground floor and first floor in an eight storey building as a part of a wider development, limiting people’s freeness which they have benefitted from over the last 19 years.
This would avoid the inevitable disruption and noise to the residents, as well as meet the growing needs of the local community that RCCM has been serving for nearly two decades.
Secondly, the proposal in itself we feel is financially unacceptable. This is based on the fact that the council is offering 1100m[2] in two floors with market value rent. We feel that this is disingenuous given that RCCM has served thousands of people regularly for nearly two decades (legal occupancy), and the proposal of market value rent does not take this into account.
As you are aware that we were granted planning permission from the council planning department in 2017 to build two storey purpose-built structure. Now the council has decided to redevelop Clichy Estate including our centre & mosque. We welcome the initiative and in principle we agreed to surrender the lease despite there being17 years left. We believe the initiative will help the community widely. However, as the legal tenant (Redcoat Community Centre) and an integral pillar of the local community, we were expecting an act of kindness from the council.
We’ve worked extremely hard against many challenges and obstacles to establish RCCM in order to change lives of disadvantaged and deprived community in Tower Hamlets and it now is one of the biggest voluntary community organisations in borough. The RCCM is well recognised and serves thousands of people every day - from all age groups. The success of RCCM has given a boost to employment in the local area which really need it. Currently 10 people are working (Part time & Full time) at Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque.
For the reasons above we would kindly request you to consider our preferred option of a stand-alone purpose-built structure in a separate space.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanking you for your kind assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Mahbub Hossain
Having discussed with the executive committee (minutes attached), our preferred option is therefore to have a stand-alone purpose-built structure, for example, in the green space behind the current structure, as opposed to an integrated facility within a residential building.

The council responded to our letter regarding a stand-alone building for our beloved mosque is below.
Meeting with the Council: We had 17 meetings with the council over the last three years in order to achieve a fair deal for RCCM in terms of redevelopment at Clichy Estate including the option of a stand-alone building for our beloved mosque. However, the council said, “A stand-alone building for mosque is not an option”. We then have two options left, either rent the new property or buy a long term lease. Renting the property was unaffordable, which was £165,000 rent per annum. Therefore, we have chosen the option to buy long term lease (125 years) with 1150m[2] space in the ground floor. The market value of the ground floor was £2.95m including fittings. Here is a summary of the minutes (April 2019 to 02/02/2022).

Council
An architectural design team will be appointed end of April 2019 to create a design vision for Clichy Estate
A stand – alone building is difficult to achieve
Community facility will not be a standalone building, but will have residential accommodation above.
Different rent options will explore and discuss at the future meetings.
The provision of a stand-alone mosque is unlikely to be a viable option.
The proposed mosque which is currently shown as approximately 1100 m[2 ] over two floors.
A faith buildings are required to pay market rent, currently £14 ft[2 ] .
The council officer (AM) informed that based on the current proposed size of the new mosque of approximately 1100 m[2 ] (11800 ft[2 ] ), the annual market rent (based on the current rate of £14 ft[2] ) would be in the region of £165,000 per annum.
A smaller space would immediately reduce the rent liability.
Jane Abraham (JA) re-iterate that a stand-alone mosque is not an option for the council.
JA noted comments, buy re-iterate that a stand-alone mosque would prove a challenge for the council to deliver in terms of planning, design, & optimisation of land.
RCCM
We expressed our desire for a stand-alone building
RCCM still preferred a stand -alone building and no temporary location for the mosque.
Two entrances, a separate entrance into the women’s area of the mosque.
The committee were concerned that the rent for 1100 m[2] would be unaffordable and wanted to explore alternative payment options.
Mahbub Hossain (MH) stated that the proposed rent increased from £7000 to £165,000 is unaffordable.
MH sated that the committee would consider a smaller space if the council agreed to a stand-alone building . MH suggested that a stand-alone building could be located in the green space currently occupied by sheds in between Pattison and Apsley House.
MH stated that the community, residents and service users want a stand-alone building with a freehold , and he sees this as way to eliminate any further problems.
MH issued a letter to JA and provide a copy to WO, making formal representation of their request for a stand-alone mosque and other requirements, signed by executive members of Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque.
SU (Salim Uddin) stated that a stand –alone mosque continues to be RCCM’s preference, particularly if the ballot result is in favour of redevelopment.
The committee said they would compromise on the size of the building and space required if the council agreed to a stand-alone mosque .
Cllr Uz-Zaman ask for a formal answer from the council in response to the
8
| Mosque’s request for a stand-alone building. The cost of a 125 year lease would be in the region of £2.8m. The rent for the space of 950 -1000 m2would be £143,000 per annum. Premium for 125 year lease with space of 1150 m2provided to shell & core valued £2.8m Rental for 125 years lease shell & core at £200,000 JA stated that RCCM’s £2m budget would provide a space of 850 m2 The council received an external valuation of £200,000 for the remaining 17 years lease VC (Vicky Clark, Divisional Director) stated that there is also legal protection if somebody purchase a property knowing what activities and types of tenant, e.g night club are already on the site. At the last meeting, it was agreed that a second valuation would be obtained to confirm the accuracy of the March 2021 £2.8m figure. This has been commissioned and the updated valuation gives a shell & core price of £2.47m. |
MH re-iterated that the RCCM were not interested in rent options as discussed and noted in previous meetings. We secured the space of 1150 m2with 125 years renewable lease. MU (Mozir Uddin) re-iterate that the price for shell & core was too high and requested that a new offer is brought forward by the council. The mosque indicate that they can afford which is in the region of £2 million for the new mosque. The committee responded if negotiations do not work thenthey will choose to stay where they are. RCCM confirmed that they wish to proceed with a space of 1150 m2valued at £2.8m and use £200,000 offered by the council to reduce the lease premium. RCCM would like to be explained within the Head and Terms to include prayer times for the mosque as these are held at particular times to provide protect within the lease for the mosque. MH said the RCCM would seek legal advice on the council’s proposal. Group wanted it noted that they did not want to pay for items such as maintenance of the lift and residential main entrance door. SU requested a meeting with the architects to review the design including internal layout. |

Petition 1 : Ceiling height
In November 2021, we submitted a petition with 1200 signatures to the Mayor of Tower Hamlets to consider increasing the ceiling height of the proposed mosque (the ground floor) from 3.5 metres to 5.5 meters. The mayor considered and honoured our petition and instructed the design team to increase the ceiling height from 3.5 m to 4m with no additional cost, although Mr Mayor indicated in his letter that it might increase the purchase price. Mayor’s response is attached for further details.
Petition 2 : In December 2021, the planning application PA/21/02703 has been submitted to London Borough of Tower Hamlets for a Major redevelopment of the Clichy estate. In reviewing the planning, drawings and information submitted, we noticed that the main community Centre & Mosque hall has no windows and ventilations. This means that the lighting and ventilation will b e entirely artificial and mechanically controlled and thus have a huge financial implication to the publicly funded Centre & Mosque in terms of day to day running cost. Therefore, we decided to submit a petition for reviewing the drawing with enough windows in the main hall.
On 10th January 2022, we submitted the petition to the council to review the drawing and to place enough windows in the main hall to adequately provide natural daylight and ventilation. The petition was honoured and reviewed.
On 2[nd] February 2022, we had a zoom meeting with the Mayor and relevant officers in regards to the petition. The mayor and officers responded to the petition positively and they agreed to add another four windows on Wellsley Road side and six sky windows.

Commitment of Donations for new mosque project: In August 2022, we appealed to local community and our service users to commit a donation toward purchasing the ground floor (space 1150 m[2] ) with 125 years renewable lease. We had tremendous responses to our appeal from community for donations. Here is the list of the people who committed to donate for purchasing the ground floor for our beloved mosque, “ RCCM”.

Local Election : The
leadership of Tower Hamlets’ Council was changed after the local election on 5[th] May 2022. We then contacted to the new Mayor of London Borough of Tower Hamlets regarding the redevelopment at the Clichy Estate.
We the Executive Committee are working with the new administration in Tower Hamlets to achieve our desire to have a stand-alone building for Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque.

Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque 256 Stepney Way, London E1 3DW Tele: 02077908577 Email: redcoatcommunitycentre@googlemail.com
To
Mr Lutfur Rahman The Executive Mayor London Borough of Tower Hamlets
We wrote second letter to Mr Mayor on 19[th] June 2022.
19[th] June 2022
Dear Mr Mayor,
Ref: Regeneration; Planning Application PA/21/02703
We, the undersigned Executive Committee of Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque (RCCM) would like to draw your attention to the redevelopment of Clichy Estate, which includes our Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque. We believe that it is worthwhile to provide you a brief contextual information about RCCM and the above planning application.
We had the privilege to have you as then Mayor for opening of our two final porta-cabins to maximise its capacity to its present level. As you are aware that Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque is a charity registered organisation, which has been solely working for the community since July 1998, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Between 2000 and 2011 we have built six (porta cabins) halls totalling the area of 930m[2] , with a 25-year lease obtained in March 2011, from Tower Hamlets Council.
Porta-cabins are temporary structures. Therefore, in August 2017, we applied for the planning permission to build a two-storey purposeful permanent standalone building at the present site to meet the growing demand and long standing desire of the community for a standalone mosque.
Initially, our application was granted (Application Number was PA/17/01576). We then had several meetings with the former mayor, ward councillors and officers to get consent from the landlord, the LBTH. However, we have been told that the council have a regeneration plan for the whole Clichy Estate, so we were denied consent .
Since April 2019, we had14 meetings with the council (former Mayor, councillors, officers) and tried persuading them for the need, demand and advantages of having a stand-alone building for RCCM. We also mentioned that we will accept a smaller space than the current occupied space even at different location, for instance, the green space in between Parttison House and Apsley House.
However, the council’s response was negative and they stated the following:
I noted that your committee has expressed a preference for a stand-alone building, however, as we have discussed at each of our meetings, the council would have difficulty accommodating this with a new development for the following reasons.
This does not enable the best use to be made of the available land. (11/12/2019).
The provision of a stand-alone mosque is not the optimal use of land (17/01/202).
In the last minute (April 2022), we received emails from the Project Manager about operational timings, where she stated the opening hours is from 8 am to 9 pm. This time restriction will not allow us to perform the morning and evening prayers (Fajr and Esha). The main purpose was to buy the property at the market value for our mosque, and if we cannot carry out our mandatory prayers 5 times a day, then it is pointless to spend £3m. Please see below for further information about time restrictions.
19
Thus, we failed to secure the expected deal for a stand-alone building. Instead, we were offered the ground floor in an eight- storey building with 1150 m[2] space and 125 years lease, which is not what we wanted.
Therefore, we are appealing to you to review the offer, “ground floor with 125 years lease” and consider giving us a stand-alone mosque in our current location or on the corner of Stepney Way as this is something we have been requesting since 2014 to meet the community’s needs and demands.
With Kind Regards
Mahbub Hossain For and on behalf The Executive Committee of RCCM

Women programmes: There are regular women programmes run at our centre & mosque by local residents. The main purpose of these programmes is to teach women about way of life in the light of Islam. They discuss various issues such as parental involvement in education, good parenting, social values, Islamic etiquette, the importance of learning the holy Qur’an, and Hadith. Women are also allowed to participate in the Special Prayers e.g Taraweeh prayer in the month of Ramadan, Eid Prayer Jamaths. However, we cannot accommodate all local women due to limited space in the women hall.

Ramadan and Eid: During the holy month of Ramadan, we the executive committee tried our best to provide outstanding services to the worshipers as needed. Our volunteers and committee members were vigilant all the time during the prayer at night to make sure safety of all worshipers. Alhamdulillah, we were able to raise about £58,000 (some people committed to pay and others paid fully) during the month of Ramadan for the new mosque project (redevelopment).
