Chief Poeple Officer at Oxford Brookes University

Dialogue Society Oxford, Brookes Union, and the Multifaith Chaplaincy, in partnership with Oxford Brookes University, hosted a Community Iftar to mark the beginning of Ramadan. The multifaith gathering welcomed people of all backgrounds, regardless of religion or cultural tradition. Attendees did not need to fast, join in prayers, or observe Ramadan to take part.

The event offered Brookes students, staff, and the wider community an opportunity to come together for an evening of conversation, reflection, and shared understanding in the spirit of Ramadan.
