My heartfelt thanks to @EquiHouse for inviting me to your iftar. Ramadan Mubarak!

British #Muslim charitable giving is playing an increasingly significant role in supporting frontline public services across the #UK, according to a new report by policy and research organization @EquiHouse arab.news/72fp5

Grateful to be with @EquiHouse today to hear about their research: Faith, Family and the Care System: A Missed Connection. We support their recommendations for unlocking the compassion of faith communities for the benefit of all vulnerable children equi.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Muslims who step in to take care of children in their wider family save the UK government at least £223m annually, according to the thinktank @EquiHouse. Via @onlinehyphen hyphenonline.com/2025/06/26/mus…

🚨New research from @EquiHouse estimates that 5,500 UK Muslim children are in kinship care — more than the number in the official care system. As a result, Muslim kinship practices could be saving the government £223m a year. ✍🏻 Weronika Strzyżyńska hyphenonline.com/2025/06/26/mus…

New report from think tank @EquiHouse released has urged #UK government to adopt coordinated national strategy to address anti-#Muslim hatred, while warning social division is harming trust in institutions and threatening Britain’s cohesion arab.news/nt8z9

A new study by @EquiHouse estimates that UK Muslims spend £642m during Ramadan on food, travel and clothes, as well as giving £359m in charitable donations. Overall, the UK Ramadan economy has grown approximately fourfold since 2015. @sajeraj reports→hyphenonline.com/2025/03/31/ram…

The UK’s Ramadan economy has quadrupled in the past decade and is now worth £1.3bn annually, new research by @EquiHouse suggests. @sajeraj looks into the findings. hyphenonline.com/2025/03/31/ram…

We're looking into community cohesion in the UK. As part of this session we'll hear about the experiences of Jewish and Muslim communities. We're talking to experts about how to combat Islamophobia and antisemitism at Government and local level. Watch on Wed 19 March, 2.20pm.

Thank you to Equi for welcoming me to your iftar yesterday with Muslims from many walks of life. It was a pleasure to join you in this special moment of reflection and connection. Wishing everyone observing a peaceful and blessed Ramadan Mubarak. #Ramadan

The rise in anti-Muslim hate crime is unacceptable and has no place in our society. Today I am launching a new working group, chaired by Dominic Grieve KC, to define Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia. gov.uk/government/new…

British Muslims play a vital role in shaping our society. Read @AfzalKhanMCR latest article for @EquiHouse on the positive impact of British Muslims in the UK ⬇️

"British Muslims are an integral part of the UK’s social and economic success story" writes @AfzalKhanMCR for @EquiHouse. Our March 2024 report similarly found that three in four British Muslims reported donating to charity in the last year.

A report by @EquiHouse found that the work of Muslim-led organisations and volunteering projects working to beat loneliness saved the public purse £56 million last year. @anitamureithii has more. →hyphenonline.com/2024/12/23/mus… 📷Getty Images

The new report from @EquiHouse spotlights British Muslim community initiatives to address loneliness, and in so doing provides insight for all communities. We're pleased to have provided a foreword for the report, which you can find at the link below: 🔗equi.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
