We are asking colleagues to join millions of Muslims across the globe to experience fasting during Ramadhan on Monday 17th March to Act as One, Fast as One. If colleagues want to become involved the ask is to abstain from food and water during from Dawn (approx. 4.17am) Dusk (approx. 6.18pm) hours.
One of the pillars of Islam is to give to charity so what better way to combine this experience and the opportunity to give to charity.
This year we are collecting for two good causes: Bradford based InTouch Foundation and The Lord Mayors Appeal.
InTouch Foundation is a registered charity and is a community based effort to address the plight of homeless men and women on the streets of Yorkshire.They aim to bring attention to this plight and provide an organisation where volunteers can become directly involved in the preparation and feeding of the less fortunate that exist on the edge of our society.
As Bradford celebrates becoming the UK's City of Culture, this years Lord Mayor’s Appeal 2024-25 is called “The Lord Mayor’s Ambition Academy”, This is aimed at supporting those wishing to work in the creative industries by helping them to access grants through funding raised by the appeal.
We hope that you will give generously
