On Friday the Met Office issued a red alert for snow for parts of southwest England and south Wales. Red alert is considered  highest level of warning.

According to report Yellow and amber warnings were in place across the UK  while Storm Emma brought heavy snow and strong winds.

Report quoted Rabnawaz Akbar, a trustee of Makki Masjid in the northern city of Manchester, saying that “The temperature is pretty severe, so we thought, ‘Why don’t we do something to help?'”.

Volunteers camped outside the place of worship to provide food and shelter to Manchester’s homeless.

Among one of the homeless is Jamie who said that he  is an addict and has never been to mosque. “I was in two minds over whether to get myself some heroin or crack, so that I could be okay for the night. As I was thinking about this, a guy came from the side and said, ‘You’re homeless, would you like to spend the night in a mosque?’, Aljazeera quoted him saying.

“They made me feel very welcome, gave me something to eat, to drink. Something that the basic council can’t even provide for us.”
