1625ip and UK Curry Connect Celebrate Ramadan

20th April 2021

This year, we were so lucky that Curry Connect supported us over Ramadan with delivering food to Woodleaze and St Georges hostel for Iftar. They also held a Zoom meeting for 1625ip colleagues and young people who use our services to ask the Weston Supermare Imam questions about Ramadan. We are so excited to be partnering with them and cannot wait to see what is next.

Moslek the Founder and CEO of UK Curry Connect said – “The amazing work that 1625ip do in empowering young and vulnerable people becoming independent and self-sufficient is a value we share at UK Curry Connect. Giving them the confidence and aspirations of a brighter future by helping them with training, employment and accommodation. UK Curry Connect are proud to partner this initiative.”
