Accrington Stanley and Raza Jamia Masjid unite for the Mosque Walk to the Match campaign

Lancashire Post

In a heartwarming display of community collaboration, Accrington Stanley have teamed up with one of Lancashire’s biggest mosques to take children to watch live football.  The club, alongside Raza Jamia Masjid and other local organisations, recently launched the innovative 'Mosque Walk to the Match' campaign in Hyndburn.  Aimed at encouraging inclusivity and promoting active lifestyles among youths, this initiative saw over 30 children and adults from the local mosque joining the walk to the match ethos to the Wham Stadium to witness Stanley's League Two clash with Crewe Alexandra.
