- Ramadan Tent Project
The Ramadan Tent Project is a unique initiative that is committed to serve the local community every day during the month of Ramadan. Unlike most other projects that are commissioned to run for a set number of days during the Holy month, RTP endeavours to break fast with the public come rain or shine. The objectives are to cater for the homeless and individuals in need, through the provision of food and beverages during the month of Ramadan, provide a social space for interaction and fostering social bonds between people from all walks of life, provide Muslims with a platform to engage with individuals and other communities to discuss their faith and combat stereotypes, and to bring together international and UK students to enjoy a festive and a harmonious Ramadan.
