Southgate Mosque was founded in 2021 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to
providing prayer facilities to the local Muslim community. Southgate Mosque and
Community Centre Ltd is a Registered Charity in England and Wales with charity
number 1201327. We opened the doors to the Alan Pullinger Centre in Southgate
for Jumuah prayers in November 2021. Within a few weeks, numbers had grown
through word of mouth, and less than a year later, we were at full capacity. Our
community Iftar event during Ramadan was over-subscribed, and over 400 people
attended Eid-ul-Adha prayers in Groveland’s Park. There is a growing Muslim
community in Southgate and surrounding areas (Oakwood and Cockfosters) made up
of a varied demographic, ethnic and socio-economic population that makes an
essential contribution to the fabric of the area. Our social, spiritual and
educational needs continue to grow and hence the urgent need for a mosque in the
area. We now have a unique opportunity to acquire a truly spectacular building
set within its own extensive 3 acres of grounds in the heart of Southgate. The
building itself is Grade II listed and is of special interest to English
Heritage. If we were to succeed in establishing our centre here, we would be
able ensure that in addition to meeting the current needs of local Muslims, we
would be restoring a valuable asset within the local area, and would secure a
legacy for generations to come. This project will not be easy and will take
time, however it will only be possible with the support and contributions of the
local community. We therefore appeal to you to donate generously and help us in
whatever way you can to secure a unique legacy in Southgate for both Muslims and
the wider community.
