A mosque at the "heart" of a Wirral town is opening its doors to the public in a bid to unite people across the borough.
Wirral Deen Centre was set up in 2016 by a group of local British Muslims who wanted to establish, not only a place of worship, but a community hub to serve the people of Birkenhead. Situated on Borough Road, the centre operates under the motto 'We stand together'; an ethos which has perhaps never been more potent than right now when Merseyside has been rocked by a spate of horrific crimes and the rising cost of living is sparking crisis in Wirral and beyond.
"It’s a very important building in a very prominent place," Pauline Cocker, Patron of Wirral Deen Centre, told the ECHO. "It serves its own community well but it's also open to any faith. It was set up in the first place by young people who wanted it to be more outward looking.
