Muslims raised £15,050 for child victims of Syria’s civil war with a pop-up car wash.
Volunteers at Al Madina mosque in Victoria Road, Barking, washed about 50 vehicles in the car park Monday, with one driver donating £300 and another £200.
Mosque secretary Ash Siddique, 48, praised the fundraisers’ “excellent effort”, with the proceeds paying for an ambulance for humanitarian group Anaya Aid and Unity convoy.
“This was a great effort by our volunteers, who worked hard all day and provided a first class service,” he said. “The event was well-supported by the community with some really generous donations.”
