‘Serving Britain is part of our faith’ – Young Muslims in Hartlepool make a clean start to 2023
Dozens of members of a youth association gathered together early on New Year’s Day to tidy the town’s streets. Equipped with bin bags, litter-picking sticks and high-vis jackets, 26 members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) Hartlepool joined forces as part of a annual initiative “to serve Great Britain clean by keeping it clean”. Haris Chaudhary, the local youth leader of the association, said: “At a time when we need unity and togetherness, this is a great opportunity to bring people together from different walks of life to serve the country in which we live in as one team. “Islam teaches us that ‘loyalty to your nation is part of your faith’ and this is something which I and my fellow young Muslims strive to live by every single day.”
