Community Iftar

Organising community Iftar gatherings during Ramadan to foster connection and support. Our Community Iftar events bring neighbours together to share meals, strengthen social ties and identify households in need so we can coordinate timely support during the holy month.

Who benefits

Families facing food insecurity, isolated elderly people, displaced households and community members who benefit from shared meals and social support. Community Iftar also provides an entry point for volunteers and partners to engage with local needs and referrals.

How the programme works

1. Coordinate with local leaders and mosques to schedule Iftar events in accessible community locations.
2. Mobilise volunteers to prepare, pack and serve culturally appropriate meals with dignity and safety.
3. Use gatherings to register vulnerable households for additional support (food baskets, follow-up visits).
4. Monitor attendance and gather feedback to improve planning for subsequent events.
