Mubinul said: “This Christmas, our mission remains the same - to bring people together,.

“As Muslims, we do not celebrate Christmas, but we see this as a meaningful opportunity to support our neighbours and ensure no one feels forgotten. The community has embraced us since day one, and this is our way of giving back.”

Visitors can expect chippy favourites including chunky cod fish fingers, fish and chip barms, and tea and coffee, all offered completely free of charge from 11am to 5pm.

Mubinul added. “Whether Christmas holds deep meaning for you or it is just another day, everyone is welcome at Portlands. If we can brighten someone’s day or ease their loneliness, that is what truly matters.”
