Alhamdulillah, on Wednesday 4th May 2022, the sisters’ celebrated Eid with a coffee morning at KMWA Gillingham mosque. The turnout was great with some new and other familiar faces enjoying tea/coffee and cakes. The occasion was also a much-needed opportunity to reconnect in person after the COVID pandemic.
We hope to continue to offer this wonderful opportunity on a regular basis for sisters and their children on Wednesdays from 10:30-12:30 at Gillingham mosque (Canterbury Street), InshaAllah.
