Holborn Muslim Circles - taking it all off!

A group of adventurous young men from the community organisation, Holborn Muslim Circles (HMC), raised well over £2000 for the East London Mosque Phase 2 Extension Project. The young men turned to their friends, family and colleagues to smash their target by promising to shave their hair off if the target was reached. In the space of a few weeks the target was met and thus they took it all off on the 12th of September. They shaved their hair off front of a large crowd at the Eid Festival behind the London Muslim Centre.

Abdulla Almamun, the youth secretary from HMC said, "it is all for a good cause and we hope that through this fun way in raising money, we can inspire others to get involved and do even more crazy and creative things".
