As featured in the News, MCR-N members opened the doors to the Muslim Community Centre in Edward street to welcome in the community for the afternoon event, and around fifty visitors enjoyed delicious home-made refreshments, activities for kids and the

chance to talk to Muslims and learn more about Islam.

Among them were Nuneaton MP Marcus Jones , who described it as a very positive event', and Green Party councillor and parliamentary candidate Keith Kondakor.

The MCR-N food kitchen was opened later that evening for poor and homeless people referred by the Salvation Army and Our Lady of the Angels church.

This time, around forty people attended and enjoyed a hot meal and hot drinks, as well as cakes, snacks and a friendly welcome.

MCR-N spokesman Junaid Bakali explained: "This is the first time Nuneaton's Muslim community has hosted events such as these, so it was a learning experience, but the whole day went very well.

"Feedback was positive throughout the day, and we look forward to doing even better next time.

"We are liaising with the Night Shelter organisation to take on more nights, and also sending some volunteers from the Muslim community out to the current Night Shelter settings to learn and help out.

"Thanks to all who attended, assisted and wished us well. It is great that there was so much interest and I very much hope this will be a key milestone for Muslims in Nuneaton engaging with the wider community."
