Thank you for visiting Deesha’s Ramadan Fast-for-All Iftar Event fundraising page.
On the 16 of August, Toynbee Hall staff, volunteers and community members will fast for 1 day (no food or water from sunrise to sunset) and join the ceremony of breaking the fast (Iftar) with the Deesha project. Following the fast Muslims and non Muslims will come together for a traditional Islamic Iftar party. By bringing people together at this time of celebration we aim to raise cultural awarness and create greater community cohesion within the borough of Tower Hamlets.
The pilot Deesha Kitchen project will take place over 6 weeks, bringing women from different classes and communities together working towards a common goal around food. All food preparations and decorations will be organised by our Deesha students. Deesha is a charitable long running community learning project delivered by voluneer tutors and assistants; offering several services to local women with English and literacy needs.
So please dig deep and sponsor our fasters! All funding will go towards the running of the much needed and valued Deesha project. Don’t forget to Gift Aid!
