Forging Closer Links with Northern Ireland’s Burgeoning Muslim Communities
The MCB team met leaders and innovators from across Northern Ireland to explore greater regional cooperation. As the UK's smallest Muslim population, they face unique challenges shaped by the region's complex history and social dynamics, particularly in a post-conflict society.

Representatives from Belfast, Derry, Enniskillen and Newtownards discussed their unified approach to addressing these challenges and explored concrete ways MCB can support their growing communities.
