Iftar Programme
The Iftar Programme was initially set up to support Muslim Reverts who had no family support during the month of Ramadan,
The project became so popular amongst the community that we now provide Iftar for 100-200 people each year. The program also reaches out to non-Muslims and the homeless connecting with all communities.
