For years, we’ve watched as our Christian and Jewish neighbours proudly display their symbols of faith during festive seasons—a towering Christmas tree adorned with lights and a grand Hanukkah menorah shining brightly. These symbols are more than just decorations; they are powerful statements of presence, unity, and strength.

Now, for the first time, the Muslim community in Dorset has been granted approval by the BCP Council to display a 30ft-high Islamic crescent by the seafront. This crescent will be a beacon of hope, peace, and unity, visible from various angles, symbolising the vibrant presence of Muslims in Dorset and across the UK.

But we need your help to make this vision a reality.

The Plan

We aim to:

1. Manufacture a 30ft-high crescent that will stand proudly by the seafront, visible to all.
2. Install the crescent securely to ensure it stands tall and safe for years to come.
3. Store the crescent for future displays, ensuring it can be reused annually.
4. Host an annual lighting ceremony to mark the beginning of Ramadan and Eid celebrations, creating a sense of community and joy.
