ISLAMOPHOBIA AWARENESS MONTH 23
The theme for 2023 is #MuslimStories.
The goal of this year’s campaign is to facilitate connections among individuals from diverse backgrounds, including both Muslims and non-Muslims, using the transformative power of storytelling.
Everyone has a story to tell. It can be based on their own experiences or those of someone they admire. So, let’s take part by sharing our stories and sparking meaningful and engaging conversations!
EXHIBITION
We’re also delighted to be displaying the work of a local artist.

CURRENT PROJECTS
Greening The Other Place
Thanks to Sirona Foundation, we’re creating exciting new growing spaces in the front entrance, in the meeting room and in our back yard. We’ll be growing edible plants and, thanks to our expert team, the design will include innovative integrated composting and self-watering systems.
Would you like to help make the planting troughs or plan the planting? We’re also looking for volunteers who can help us care for all the plants. If you would like to get involved, please do get in touch.
Our public living room is open every afternoon, on weekdays (2pm-5pm, Monday to Friday). Come and relax, help yourself to a cuppa from our community kitchen and have a chat. We’d love to see you. (We’ve also joined the excellent Camerados movement. Find out more and spread the word!)
