12 Sep
Summary
- Lincoln's first mosque reopened after six years closed.
- A £350,000 refurbishment was funded by community donations.
- The mosque will now host daily prayers and community activities.
Lincoln City Mosque, the first of its kind in Lincolnshire, has officially reopened following a comprehensive six-year refurbishment. This historic place of worship, originally founded in 1981, had been closed since the Covid-19 pandemic due to the need for extensive restoration work.
The Islamic association of Lincoln announced that the mosque underwent a substantial £350,000 refurbishment, a project made possible entirely through dedicated community fundraising. The revitalized mosque now features a new roof, an insulated structure, updated flooring, and a new extension equipped with a kitchen and toilets.
With the completion of these improvements, the mosque is set to resume its role as a vital center for prayer, spiritual reflection, Islamic education, and community life. It aims to host daily prayers five times a day, including Friday services, and potentially other community events, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for generations to come.
