As part of a nationwide initiative over the Christmas period to bring festive cheer to the elderly, sick and isolated the Spen Valley Branch of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) visited local care homes and hospices as well as providing gifts to children on Christmas Day.

On Friday 22 December they visited Ashmeadows Care Home in Cleckheaton and distributed gifts to the elderly residents and staff.  They also spent some time with the residents.

On the morning of Saturday 23 December the AMYA visited the Children’s’ Ward at Pinderfields Hospital and distributed 27 gifts to sick children. These presents were specially prepared and packed by the children of the AMYA.

In the afternoon of Saturday 23 December a visit was made to Kirkwood Hospice and 18 boxes of biscuits, some chocolates, a fruit basket and 20 Seasons Greetings Cards were distributed to the staff and patients.

On Christmas Day Spen Valley AMYA distributed 35 gifts to children and the less fortunate who were attending the free Christmas lunch held by Dewsbury Cares at Longcauseway Church in the Town Centre.

Mr Manzoor Ahmad (President of AMYA in Spen Valley) said “it is our duty to help and serve Humanity irrespective of their background.  This is especially important over the Christmas period when people are sick or lonely.  The motto of our community is “Love For All Hatred For None” and we are honoured to be able to help our local brothers and sisters in some small way”
