Al-Farooq Education and Community Centre (AFECC) in Glasgow serves a diverse community by providing inclusive support, education, and spiritual growth. It operates a food bank distributing over 14,000 parcels annually to combat food insecurity, partners with schools, and engages in global humanitarian aid like disaster relief and clean water projects. AFECC promotes environmental care through local clean-up initiatives and cycle racks. Its education programmes include Qur’anic classes, women’s Islamic diplomas, and early childhood support groups. Daily prayers, Ramadan events, and family gatherings nurture faith and community bonds. AFECC also fosters intercultural understanding via tours and exhibitions. Recent building refurbishments aim to expand its community services.
