Muslim group clean up littered Huddersfield town centre on New Year’s Day

More than 50 volunteers, including elders and children, gathered to take part in the clean-up. They were joined by Councillor Tyler Hawkins, Kirklees Cabinet member for highways and waste. They found a lot of discarded rubbish including cans, food wrappers, plastic cups, glass, and other discarded food packaging.

In addition to the clean-up, volunteers distributed food to homeless individuals, provided free transport and meals to those less fortunate, and visited hospitals and care homes to offer support and companionship.

Fatihul Haq, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Huddersfield, said: “We want to instil the values of service, responsibility, and compassion in our young members from an early age, so they grow up to become good citizens and a positive force in society.”Serving humanity is at the heart of our faith, and initiatives like this help translate belief into action.”

He added: “Huddersfield is our home – a town that has given us so much. Through this initiative, we wish to give back by helping to ensure the town centre is clean, welcoming, and environmentally responsible when normal work resumes after the New Year. Our aim is also to reduce the burden on the council’s cleaning teams and contribute to a cleaner, less polluted town.”
