A community hub visited by "generation after generation" is hoping for transformation.
Now housed in a former church on Earle Road in Wavertree, the Al-Ghazali Centre started life in 1992 running activities for Muslim teens in various community centres, taking them swimming or to play football, and teaching them Arabic so they can read the Quran.
Leyla Mashjari, the centre's assistant executive manager, told the ECHO: "I was one of those little kids who were joining the sessions. I loved what was happening and I wanted to give back, so I started to volunteer. Eventually I got a job and I've never moved, because there's a satisfaction to doing community work that makes you feel really good."
