Skegness Mosque
We have been holding Jumma Prayers in a rented hall for about 15 years. Over the last 10 years there has been an increase in number of Muslims, including families with children, in the area so now we have approximately 50-60 men only at Jumma Prayers. This number does increase over the holiday season due to holiday makers. We do not have appropriate prayer place for ladies and children, more importantly we do not have any place to teach Islamic Studies to our children.
