Over the past 29 years the centre has grown and expanded, starting with a small group of young people and delivering social activities in various buildings around the city to currently owning our own building in heart of the community and opening our doors to over 600 people per week.

We now need to complete the work by plastering the walls, improve the electrics and new flooring. Last year we were lucky enough to able to excavate unused space which doubled the size of the youth club area. There was a lot of disused space and the area needed work to improve the condition of the walls and flooring. They want it to accommodate the increasing number of users and have more activities to meet young peoples needs. Our young people wanted to improve the condition of the youth club to make it bigger and in a better condition as the walls and floors had been hit by damp. Our youth club area is in the basement of our building. The centre now owns its own building in the heart of the community in Liverpool 7 bordered by L8 and L15. The Al-Ghazali Youth club is one of the Al-Ghazali centre projects, it has been delivering recreational, motivational and educational support activities to local children and young people since 1992.
