A community Iftar is taking place in Portsmouth to raise funds for two charities the Lord Mayor is supporting.
The event on Sunday 2 March in the Guildhall’s auditorium is to observe Iftar, the name of the evening meal eaten by Muslims to break their fast during Ramadan. Tickets are available here: Portsmouth Community Iftar 2025 | Pompey in the Community
The Iftar is being organised by Portsmouth Lord Mayor Cllr Jason Fazackarley, together with fellow city councillors Cllr Abdul Kadir and Cllr Asghar Shah, with funds going to Pompey in the Community and Abby’s Heroes.
Cllr Fazackarley said: “I do hope people will join and break fast for two fantastic local charities which I am delighted to be supporting as part of my appeal.
“Pompey in the Community harnesses the motivational power of Portsmouth FC to promote education, healthy living, sporting participation and achievement with vulnerable and disadvantaged people of all ages.
“Abby’s Heroes was set up by mum Sally Randall eight years ago in memory of her daughter Abby, who had a rare type of bone cancer called Ewing Sarcoma. It’s their mission to support local children who have cancer and their families in all sorts of important ways.”
Food is provided in the ticket price and doors open at 3.30pm for a 4pm start.
