BBC2 Timeline on 13 December 2018 featured Scottish Mosques For All (now known as Vibrant Scottish Mosques) and highlighted why this project is necessary.
They visited one of the many mosques from across Scotland that are actively engaging women and providing facilities. We hope this will encourage all of our Mosques to work with us to identify opportunities for improvement. |
