We hosted a range of public lectu$ throughout the year, alongside Arabic classes for adults and Qur'anic classes. 2 Ramadan, our busiest period. was marked by the provision of daily Iftar meals for all who chose to open their fast at the centre. Each evening also featured prayers and a lecture. In collaboration with our local church. we held a special joint Iftar, where participants opened their fast at the centre before attending a cornmunity meal at Hodge Hill Church. This event provided an excellent opportunity for members of the wider community to learn more about Ramadan and the practice of fasting. while fostering unity and mutual understanding. 3 Our Eid prayers were very well attended, with communits'es coming together to celebrate. The centre successfully held three senlices for each of the two Eid festivals. 4 Work on our new building has continued steadily. The charity acquired the premises in July 2016, and in January 2018 secured planning permission to change the use of the building from a Social Club (Class D2) to a Mixed Community and Place of Worship (Class D1).
