RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Public iftar meals have become a popular feature of Ramadan in the UK in 2023, with gatherings breaking the day of fasting held in a cathedral, library, open air squares and football clubs.

Messenger, published by Newsquest, says “there have never before been so many organisations and companies opening their doors to Muslims and the wider community”.

It reports a “real burst of energy from community groups and charities to reach out to non-Muslims” with people bringing their neighbours and work colleagues to join in.
