The Greenwood Centre is fully wheelchair accessible, including accessible toilets on every floor of the building. The closest step-free train stations are Gospel Oak (approx 11mins away – manual boarding ramps need to be arranged at this station) and King’s Cross. Buses 88, 134, and 214 stop close by the venue. There are three designated blue badge parking spaces outside of The Greenwood Centre.

This is an indoor event. Hand sanitiser and handwashing facilities will be available and the space will be cleaned thoroughly before the event. Windows will stay open for ventilation so please dress warmly.

We encourage attendees and team members to wear a mask but people who find masks to be too big a barrier to communication, or find it negatively impacts their health, don’t have to wear one.

We ask all attendees to take a lateral flow test on the day of this event. We won’t ask you to share the results with us but we do request that you don’t attend this event if you test positive or have any cold- or flu-like symptoms. Thank you for helping us support the most marginalised people at IMI to access our events.

Online safety

You’ll be taken through a few short questions during checkout, which helps us to keep our imams and organisers safe. This process helps us to protect each other and our community online.

You will be sent a link on the day of the event. Please do not share the link, that’s just for you. When you attend the event, make sure your Zoom display name is the same as the name you signed up with. Here’s how you can change your Zoom display name.
