Sanctuary Housing Association is supporting local Muslims by contributing to the daily Iftar (the opening of the fast) as part of its commitment towards engaging and working with the Ocean community.

Over one billion Muslims throughout the world have been fasting as part of the five Islamic duties they must perform and Muslims living on the Ocean Estate are no different. Ramadan started on Tuesday 4th October and will last for 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the new moon. The end of Ramadan is marked by the celebration of Eid where Muslims rejoice the festive event with their families.
