Following on from the annual Aagrah charity dinner in Bradford in October 2012, Mosaic National Director Jonathan Freeman and Head of Fundraising David Hannam were delighted to receive a cheque for £25,000 from Mohammed Aslam MBE, Aagrah Managing Director on 10th January.
Aagrah is the UK’s largest chain of Kashmiri restaurants, with a 30-year history of raising money for charitable causes.
