As fellas for providing advice, reassurance and engagement during the EDL protests and problems in local schools the work I delivered within the Inclusive Muslim Action Network in Sandwell. I dedicate this award to Tipton Central Mosque Kanz ul Iman, its leadership and its surrounding communities who all pulled together in solidarity at the time of the deadly bombing on 12.7.14 ensuring this act of terrorism does not divide, undermine or fragment us as intended by the bomber. But it resulted in strengthening our resolve, whole community was cooperative with the authorities without any incident and learning lessons to be shared with others. I am proud to receive this award and seek your prayers as well as sincerely thank you all for your best wishes. Citation on the award as read out by Detective Chief Superintendent Sue Southern says: For your significant contribution to the success of Operation Clockface.
