Eid Mubarak to those celebrating 💚

We asked three SEEN ambassadors to share a message for Eid. Highlighting what it is, the importance of the day and the various ways they will be celebrating.

Have a listen👇

Wishing all my friends & colleagues who are celebrating #EidMubarak . Today I’m thinking in particular of all those people who cannot celebrate Eid in the way they want #PeaceAndLove #EidAlFitr2024

This is a call for all of us to do better, work more collaboratively and improve everything from prevention to access to staff training to ward environments.
