Colleagues in Microbiology recently came together to organise a 'fuddle' to celebrate Eid-al-Fitr.

The team have done a similar thing for Christmas, but it was proposed that having an Eid fuddle would be a nice thing to do for the team as well.

Traditional food and thoughtful decorations were particular highlights on the day, with a biryani being ordered from a local caterer and lots of traditional food being brought in by colleagues.

Specialist Biomedical Scientist, Kerry Mellor, said: "It was a team effort, initially organised by the Eid fuddle team, but as it got closer to the day, all microbiology staff members were actively participating."

Our Chaplaincy Team are holding a small Eid celebration in the CRH Chapel this Thursday, 16th April between 13:00 and 14:00. Colleagues from across the Trust are invited to join them to celebrate the occasion. 

Eid marks the end of the blessed month of Ramadan and is a time of gratitude, reflection, and coming together with others in a spirit of joy and community. 

There will be an opportunity to:

• Enjoy some light refreshments
• Learn a little about the significance of Eid
• Spend time together in a relaxed and welcoming environment

This will be an open and inclusive celebration with food and cultural sweet treats. Everyone is welcome, regardless of faith or belief.
