Mental Health Monday is a campaign aimed at supporting those struggling with their mental health during lockdown. Through starting conversations and sharing uplifting posts, we hope that the community know that we are here from them.

In response to our social media Mental Health Mondays campaign, we have launched a helpline listening service to provide emotional support to the community aged 16+ during this trying time of COVID-19.

This helpline is a free, confidential, listening service, delivered by trained/qualified listeners to support our community during this time of isolation, uncertainty and change.

Loft 25, a clothing manufacturer in Birmingham have re-purposed their production lines to produce PPE. Green Lane Masjid are the project managers for this campaign, and have been overlooking the large-scale logistics. This includes providing 150 drivers to deliver the much needed supplies to NHS staff. To date this partnership have managed to successfully deliver 1000 PPE items, with the capacity to produce another 5000.

We have teamed up with partners to provide essential groceries and supplies to the most vulnerable in our community. These include the elderly, all those who are self isolating or cannot afford basic necessities. Our team of volunteers have been rushed off their feet with the demand.

Alhamdulilah, our dawah team have prepared an online dawah programme for our community and Muslims worldwide to strengthen their emaan and to educate them the importance of reliance on Allah (SWT) during this difficult time.

They have the opportunity to watch and participate in amazing lectures and live sessions with our Imams and renowned guest speakers.

We are here to ensure we provide a smooth and swift funeral and burial service to our community.

We have an additional cold storage facility in place as well as a fleet of hearses and ambulances and aim to have facilities to store around 100 bodies Insha’Allah in temperature-controlled storage units.

Our volunteers have been fully trained in how to use PPE and we are available 24 hours a day to collect the deceased from the home or hospital Insha’Allah.
