Our impact on the communityOur activities are open to all faiths and non-faith, to encourage cohesion and integration. We do this through our:
- Bimonthly interfaith café which brings people from our diverse communities together building togetherness and social capital through the sharing of food and raising our voices in harmony.
- Annual Great Get Together Iftaar during Ramadan which seeks to create a sense of belonging and inclusion through its multi faith / multi community content that is emotionally and spiritually uplifting. Each year the Iftaar programme is themed to enable a conversation on issues of importance to our communities, eg, climate change, celebration of women’s strength through sound.
- Hardship Fund which supports families and individuals with the cost of living including regular food parcels. Our support is holistic and includes information, advice and sign posting designed to empower and increase independence by reducing reliance on public and charitable resources.
- Long standing work to support refugees and new settlers to MK by providing emotional, cultural and faith specific help working with MK City Council, British Red Cross and other charities.
Commitment to working as a team, passionate about creating opportunities for cross community dialogue
