Activities and events taking place at Mosque and Centre during Ramadan, which coincides with the Olympics include:

• Daily Iftar (breaking of the fast meal) at the London Muslim Centre. We will provide Iftar meals for over 500 people per day. Local businesses and individuals generously sponsor these Iftar meals.

• Citizens Iftar in partnership with London Citizens on the 2 August 2012 (location to be confirmed) – an interfaith event with 3,000 people expected to break fast with Muslims, making it the largest event of its kind.
