Eid Online
We know from first-hand experience how hard it is for converts around Eid time, a time that should be filled with joy and togetherness. To ensure that no one is alone, we have organised this online gathering of reflection, games, poetry, and discussion on every evening of every Eid.
What’s My Name?
A matter of concern for new converts to Islam is the decision to change their name after conversion. The practice is not one exclusive to Islam, and historically, converts to other faiths (including Christianity) have changed their first and/or last names in varying degrees of change.

One Love, One Eid
Join us for our Caribbean-themed Eid party, you don’t have to spend Eid alone! An exciting opportunity for converts to Islam to network, socialise, over delicious a Caribbean buffet and entertainment to celebrate the blessed day of Eid al-Fitr.
My Journey With New Beginnings
Converting to Islam was the end of one journey and the beginning of another. I have come to accept that this one is the journey of a lifetime. It has also come with a lot of confusion, questions and isolation.
