Last week, people from all faiths and backgrounds, including our reporter Rowan Newman, participated in Fast Friday.
Fasting Friday proved to be a success once again Over £600 was generated allowing gifts and food to be delivered to Bradford Council and a care residential home in the city. MFF and BFT would like to thank MyLahore, Cafe Regal, Kanapeena Supermarket, Living Islam, itc., and Mir Solicitors for their kind contributions. Mark Douglas, Bradford Council s Director of Children’s Services, said: “I would like to thank Bradford Foundation Trust and its partners for thinking about our care leavers and providing them Eid parcels.
FASTING Friday is once again upon us as people of all faiths and backgrounds will not be eating or drinking for the majority of tomorrow to raise funds and awareness for a brilliant cause. My Foster Family, in partnership with the Bradford Foundation Trust and the Bradford Council Children Services, have organised the fast which will last from 3:30am to 8:55pm on May 7. This year s special cause is providing Eid gifts to care leavers and those who are 16-18 living independently or in supported living arrangements. The appeal helps transform the festive time for young people who may not have anyone to buy them a gift.
