Accrington Stanley have announced that their eagerly anticipated Open Iftar Event will take place on Sunday 16th March at the Wham Stadium.

The club’s fans and people from the Muslim community are being encouraged to attend the event together, which will get underway at 5:30pm, with the opening of the fast taking place at 6:19pm.

Those attending will receive a special Iftar food box to enjoy, with a prayer room located in ‘The Snug’ within the club’s world class hospitality venue, while a group photo will take place in the stands at the Wham Stadium and the local Imaan will lead the prayer after the fast has been opened with dates and water.

To secure your free ticket for the Iftar event, visit the Accrington Stanley club shop or call the club on 01254 356950.

The club has received a Community Cohesion and Resilience Funding Grant from Hyndburn Borough Council to host the event following a successful fundraising bid, which will now allow Stanley to continue delivering initiatives to positively impact the local community.

Alongside the Open Iftar Event, Accrington Stanley have been running community cohesion workshops in local secondary schools, with those taking part in the workshops invited to take part in the club’s ‘walk to the match’ initiative which took place on Tuesday 4th March, and saw over 150 students and family members enjoying Iftar food boxes before heading to the Wham Stadium.

Warren Eastham, CEO at Accrington Stanley, said: “This is a fantastic event which we are proud to be hosting here at Accrington Stanley, and we look forward to seeing all the community coming together as one.”

Robert Houseman, Accrington Stanley EDI Officer, said: “We have had a thoroughly enjoyable few weeks with the community cohesion workshops and walk to the match initiative. The Open Iftar is a wonderful way to bring everything together and we are really excited to be running this type of event for the first time.”

Cllr Noordad Aziz, deputy leader of Hyndburn Borough Council, said: “Accrington Stanley is a huge part of our local community and what better place to visit for an Open Iftar. We would encourage anyone thinking of attending to register their place as soon as possible, for what we will be a very popular event.”

Hyndburn Borough Council were awarded funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to support community cohesion and resilience work across the borough.

Accrington Stanley Football Club represents communities from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds and has achieved a Bronze level in the EFL’s Equality Code of Practice, due to their ongoing work and commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
