Around 30 young Muslims started 2018 with a litter pick on some of Leicester’s messy streets.
Volunteers grabbed bin bags and brooms and set out to tidy up the road around the Ahmadiyya mosque in Clarendon Park after their early morning prayers.
The clean-up was organised by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA).
AMYA youth leader for Leicester Amir Ahmed said: “Islam urges every person to partake in charitable giving, and that even an act of kindness towards another is charity.
"AMYA has and continues to instill young people with a sense of civil responsibility, and a desire to promote harmony within our local communities.
"Our members have enjoyed living in Leicester for decades and so any opportunity to help our local community is a much welcomed one.”
