# As-Salaam Trust – The Peace Centre
As-Salaam Trust is a registered charity established in 2009, serving approximately 400 families across Leicester's Thurnby Lodge, Nether Hall, Scraptoft and surrounding communities. Operating from their base in Leicester LE5 2NG, the organisation functions as a multifaceted community hub centred on Islamic worship and social welfare.
The Peace Centre operates as a mosque providing regular Jumu'ah (Friday) prayers with multiple prayer times to accommodate different schedules, alongside educational programmes and religious talks. Their facilities welcome all age groups, including children under 15 and elderly community members, with dedicated sisters' facilities ensuring inclusive access to worship.
What distinguishes this organisation is their deep commitment to tackling food insecurity. The Peace Centre FoodBank has operated continuously since 2013, distributing food parcels every Wednesday throughout the year plus additional sessions on the third Sunday of each month. This represents 11 years of sustained community support during times of genuine hardship.
The centre extends their impact through youth engagement, running a girls' youth club, and actively recruiting volunteers to expand their reach. They've embraced digital accessibility, livestreaming prayers and talks via FM radio, online platforms and social media, ensuring those unable to attend physically remain connected.
Their "Helping Hand Plan" enables affordable community support through £10 monthly Direct Debit contributions, democratising participation in charitable giving.
