EID AL-FITR
Eid Mubarak to all our colleagues celebrating across the business!
This year we are holding an event at Enderby Campus, Gedding Road and in the Contact Centre on Tuesday 25th April from 12pm, where we will be giving out free samosas and boiled sweets!
We've shared some photos below of employees across the business celebrating, but would love you to share some photos or your stories and how you celebrated this year and what it involves! You can send them through to us at unity@next.co.uk, on Google Spaces or on Yapster.
On this page you can find out more information about Eid, how colleagues across the business are celebrating and take a look at NEXT's Eid Collection online.
Eid takes place at the end of Ramadhan, the holy month for Muslims. Many of our employees and our customers celebrate Eid, but what is it and when does it take place? We're holding our fist ever pop up event at Head Office to celebrate Eid and give you more information about the festival, how employees have celebrated, and what marketing campaigns the business ran for Eid.

The beginning of May sees millions of Muslims around the UK and the world celebrating the festival of Eid al-Fitr…….but what is this festival, and why does it take place? Find out more below.
Our 'A Moment With' series is a platform for employees from across the business to talk to the network about who they are, their stories or their cultures in a safe and supportive environment.
To help better understand the experiences of our colleagues across the business (and our customers across the world), we have shared new features for Ramadhan and Eid to give you an insight into a day in the life of a Muslim during this time of year. To read their pieces, click the link below!
Our website features an Eid collection to help customers find what they need in the run up to the celebrations. These ranges have then been promoted by the marketing department both in the UK and Overseas over the past month.
