Today we see the start of Ramadan where Muslims across the world fast, by not eating food or drinking water, during daylight hours and pray at regular intervals as a means of learning self-control, gratitude, and compassion for those less fortunate.

As part of the Co-op finance community we’re asking you to participate on Wednesday 21^st April by:

1. Contributing £10 towards Lifeshare | Homeless Charity Manchester, a Manchester based charity tackling homelessness and food poverty;
2. Participating in the Co-op fasting day by:

• Fasting full day from sunrise to sunset with no food or water;
• Fasting part day 8.30am – 8.30pm with no food or water;
• Fasting part day 8:30am – 8.30pm with only water.

Appreciate there may be circumstances where you are not able to participate in the Co-op fasting day, you can show your support by sponsoring a colleague in this instance.
