About your mentor

EMCA UK

Our Youth, Our Future -Empower, Inspire,Lead

EMCA UK, formally the Eritrean Muslim Community Association UK, was founded in 1989 to meet the social, welfare and cultural needs of Eritrean immigrants in the United Kingdom. Based in London, it operates the Al-Nagashi Mosque & Centre, offering prayer facilities, lectures, Quran and Islamic classes, Nikah services, and community events such as Ramadan iftars and Eid celebrations. Through its youth-focused programmes—which include sports clubs, Seerah camps, career workshops, scouts and weekly youth clubs—EMCA empowers young people to “aspire to do more and aim higher” . It also runs outreach initiatives like feeding the homeless in Wandsworth and Lambeth and provides support services ranging from matrimonial introductions to funeral arrangements, reflecting its core values of faith.

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
