# Halesowen/Dudley Yemeni Community Association
The Halesowen/Dudley Yemeni Community Association (HDYCA) is a registered charity established in 1986 that serves the Yemeni and Arabic-speaking communities across the Borough of Dudley and surrounding areas. As the local Yemeni population has grown steadily since its foundation, the organisation has become an essential cultural and religious hub for residents seeking connection to their heritage and faith.
HDYCA operates Masjid Al-Warith, providing daily prayer facilities with published prayer timetables for all five daily prayers, Friday congregations (Jumua), and Eid celebrations. The organisation goes beyond religious services to address the broader needs of disadvantaged communities within the locality, offering support tailored to the specific requirements of Yemeni and Arabic-speaking residents.
The association's commitment to community welfare and cultural representation has been formally recognised, having received the Queen's Award in 2022 for its outstanding contributions. This prestigious accolade reflects decades of consistent service delivery and community engagement.
What sets HDYCA apart is its deep roots within the Yemeni community combined with a broader commitment to supporting other marginalised groups locally. The organisation balances religious stewardship with practical community support, serving not only as a place of worship but as a vital social institution addressing the multifaceted needs of its constituents.
