Al-Yusra is a Muslim run organisation that started with a few concerned members of the Muslim community of Rochdale. These individuals had a worry about the lack of activities and reformation taking place especially from the Muslim youth of Rochdale. Thus, a group was formed by these men to target the Muslim youth and to make a positive change in their lives for the foreseeable future.
Originally having started at Central Mosque Rochdale, the group plays an active role in organising and running religious and charitable events. The group also runs various sports activities throughout the year e.g regular swimming sessions, football league and competitions. The group arrange for guest speakers to come and speak on a wide range of subject matters pertinent to the challenges of modern day society and issues affecting the youth in particular.
