# Ashton Central Mosque
Ashton Central Mosque is an established place of worship and community hub serving the Muslim population of Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas. Located on Hillgate Street, the purpose-built facility provides segregated prayer rooms, ablution facilities and classrooms catering to a diverse congregation.
Beyond traditional worship, the mosque distinguishes itself through an extensive range of community-focused programmes. Their Madrasah offers Qur'an, Islamic studies and Hifz classes for children and adults, whilst the ACM Scouts group combines outdoor activities with Islamic values for young Muslims. The mosque actively welcomes visitors of all faiths through regular guided tours and school visits—44 schools visit annually—fostering interfaith understanding and education about Islam.
The organisation extends practical support to vulnerable community members through an Ashton Community Fridge foodbank and a Zakat Clinic providing financial guidance on charitable giving. They offer complete Janazah funeral services including washing, shrouding and burial arrangements, addressing an essential community need. The venue hire service allows local families and organisations to book the community centre for events and celebrations.
Spiritual development is supported through weekly Dhikr Circles for remembrance and reflection. What sets Ashton Central Mosque apart is their commitment to holistic community care—combining religious education, social welfare support, youth engagement and interfaith dialogue. They actively encourage volunteering and maintain digital engagement through WhatsApp groups and a dedicated app, making services accessible to their congregation.
