Happy Eid-ul-Fitr 2021:Eid Mubarak to our Muslim Colleagues, Friends and ClientsEid al-Fitr means 'festival of breaking the fast' and takes place when Ramadan ends, signalling that the daily fasting is over and the next month (Shawwal) begins.Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court has announced that Eid ul Fitr will be celebrated on Thursday, May 13.The crescent moon was not sighted on Tuesday, May 11, meaning Ramadan will last a full 30 days this year. Astronomers had already predicted the moon would not be visible anywhere in the world on May 11. But people should be able to see it on May 12.Dates of Eid and other Islamic months and events can vary by a day or so depending on moon-sighting announcements from different locations. Some communities follow the Saudi news, others look for confirmation in Morocco, the UK, or other countries. It looks like Eid will also be on May 13 in Turkey but a day later, on May 14, in India and Pakistan. ... See MoreSee Less

"12 May was chosen for International Nurses Day because it coincides with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, perhaps the most famous nurse in history and it is a great opportunity for us to say a huge thank you to all of our Mildmay nurses who have been the backbone that has got us through the pandemic. I appreciate that this pandemic is not yet over, but we can give thanks that it is now looking like for the UK at least the end is in sight."Geoff Coleman, Mildmay CEOOn this #InternationalNursesDay, We salute the thousands of nurses and frontline workers who work day and night to save the lives of people - not just during this pandemic - but always.All our healthcare staff are real heroes and we thank them all for their wonderful service. ...

Can you help us with the Mildmay clock?The Mildmay clock sits proudly above the main entrance of Mildmay Mission Hospital, as it did on the original 1892 building. Beyond that, we know next to nothing about it. We think the clockwork mechanism was converted to an electric one in the early 1970s. We also know that it was taken down and put into storage between 2008 and 2012, before finally being installed on our new hospital building in 2014.Were you at Mildmay before 1980? Do you know anything about the Mildmay clock? If so, we'd love to hear from you. ... See MoreSee Less

Canon John A Stanley, who is a splendid 89 years of age, contacted us recently to let us know about his mission to fundraise by walking the city walls of Chester."I shall be 90 next month and I have set myself the task of walking the Walls of Chester 90 times, finishing on my birthday, May 20th.I will have done 80 laps by tomorrow so I am well within range of getting there!!  I am hoping to raise some money and I plan to divide it three ways, part to Chester Cathedral, part to St Marks Saltney and the third part towards Vaccines for Uganda.I am having some difficulty in finding a route for that and at a retired clergy meeting you was mentioned as a possible way of doing this. My inquiry is to ask if you can."Mildmay Uganda is very much involved in the national COVID-19 Vaccination rollout and so we were very pleased to inform Reverend Stanley that we can assist him in getting his donation to where it can be put to best use, as per his wishes.If you would like to support John in his endeavour to walk around the walls of Chester 90 times in celebration of his 90th birthday, then you can do so by clicking here: bit.ly/3ePgbN7All proceeds will be divided equally between three charities (St Mark's, Chester Cathedral and Mildmay Uganda - providing children with vaccinations). ...
