We, the undersigned, call on the relevant authorities (local council) in Wokingham to support and approve the establishment of either a Mosque or an Islamic Community Centre for the local Muslim community.

Wokingham’s Muslim population has grown steadily in recent years (c. 10,000+), yet there is currently no dedicated Mosque or Islamic Centre for daily prayers, community activities, youth development, education, and interfaith engagement. This has resulted in families travelling to other towns or hiring local venues to practice their faith and access essential community services.

A Mosque in Wokingham would:

1. Provide a safe place of worship for local residents. 
2. Support youth and educational programs
3. Facilitate interfaith understanding and community cohesion
4. Promote wellbeing, charity initiatives, and positive social impact

We respectfully request the support of local councillors, planning authorities, and community stakeholders in helping secure approval for a suitable site and facilities for a Mosque in Wokingham.
