Congratulations to all of those who won awards at the Muslim News Awards – in particular Mohammed Mangera for the Uthman Dan Fodio Award for Excellence in Community Development, and Iqbal Wahhab for the Ummul Mu’minin Khadijah Award for Excellence in Enterprise.
Iqbal is a Mosaic Board Member, and proven serial entrepreneur with a background in PR, journalism, the restaurant business, as well as advisory roles to the government. In 1991 Iqbal set up his own PR firm; in 2001 he launched the Cinnamon Club; 2005 saw the opening of Roast Restaurant in Borough Market; and he currently chairs the Government’s Ethnic Minority Advisory Group.
Mohammed Mangera is a member of the regional leadership group for Mosaic in the North West. By supporting families as they grieve for their family members, Mohammed assists with preparations in burying loved ones – his funeral service takes much of the pain out of this time by ensuring that all processes are run in accordance with Islamic customs and laws.
It has been my pleasure to support Mosaic's work. Having seen at first-hand their work, it is clear that Mosaic is making a significant contribution to improving the life chances of young people growing up in tough communities. I would encourage business leaders to get behind Mosaic to help them...
