A Night to Remember: Welcoming Ramadan across the Country

Ramadan has now started Alhamdulillah! The sacred month has arrived!

Here at Islamic Relief, we’ve been eagerly awaiting this busy blessed period. To get things started, last week we launched our nationwide A Night of Saving Lives pre-Ramadan events in London, Birmingham and Glasgow.

All three events were a fantastic success and included some fabulous guests including Rt. Hon Lord Bates, international broadcaster and journalist Rageh Omaar, local MPs and some of our fantastic #HonourHer campaign ambassadors.

So we thought we’d share a few snaps of the events for those of you who weren’t following us on social media – when we trended to the top five on Twitter of the night!

All three events featured our Lifesavers exhibition, showcasing the amazing work which you have contributed towards throughout out 34 year history

Here’s just a handful of the many guests who attended our London launch

Rageh Omaar was one of our many esteemed guests who joined us in London to share their experiences in the field and working with Islamic Relief

We’d like to thank all our guests for joining us and for their support – along with all of you at home! Without our partners, donors, volunteers and staff, none of our work would be possible.

Thank you and Ramadan Mubarak!
