Late Abdul Hannan
Our Honourable Founder
Abdul Hannan founded Whitley Bay Islamic Cultural Centre in 1999, with a vision for the Centre to be a means of building bridges between communities and provide support to the whole community to whomsoever requires it.
He spent his life helping and supporting everyone, no matter their faith, ethnicity or background. With an ideology to always give back to society his efforts and commitment in voluntary work only increased with his age.
We, at Whitley Bay Islamic Cultural Centre, want to continue his legacy, his efforts, and his courage to support and advance our future generations to come.
