Imam Adam Kelwick said the email wasn't just for him but his community
A Liverpool chaplain said he was “pleasantly surprised” after opening an unexpected email. Adam Kelwick, the leader of the historic Abdullah Quilliam Mosque, off West Derby Road, learnt he was shortlisted for a prestigious accolade after he got a notification on his phone. The 42-year-old from Toxteth is up for the Most Impactful Imam award at the British Beacon Mosque Awards 2024.
Adam was instrumental in the de-escalation of the summer race riots and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. He said: “Many people in the community had my back; they were behind me, and they supported what I wanted to do. It’s not just an award for me. 'It’s an award for the mosque, the hundreds of people who came out to counter-protest and even for those who came out to protest and eventually became our friends and visited the mosque the week after.
