Celebrating the Contributions of Welsh Muslims in Wales
The Bengal Dragons Foundation, in partnership with Muslim Friendly Employer (MFE), is proud to announce a landmark event to be held at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay, celebrating the incredible contributions of Welsh Muslims across all walks of life.
This first-of-its-kind gathering, titled “The Contributions of Welsh Muslims in Wales,” will shine a light on the remarkable impact Muslims have made, and continue to make, across business, education, public service, sport, arts, charity, and community life in Wales.
Why This Event Matters
Muslims in Wales are part of the fabric of this country. From local entrepreneurs and educators to NHS workers, athletes, and activists, they have helped shape communities with resilience, service, and spirit. Yet these contributions are often underrepresented or misunderstood.
This event aims to change that narrative by providing a national platform to celebrate, inspire, and raise awareness of the vital role Welsh Muslims play in modern Wales.
Our Vision
By hosting the event at the Senedd the heart of Welsh democracy, we’re sending a powerful message that Welsh Muslims are not only part of this nation’s past and present but are also shaping its future.
Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and community stories, we will explore how inclusive workplaces, public spaces, and civic life can benefit from greater recognition, understanding, and opportunity for Muslim communities.
Who Will Be There?
This event will bring together a rich mix of speakers and guests, employers, community leaders, change-makers, and role models. It will include:
· Inspiring Welsh Muslims from different sectors sharing their journeys
· Muslim Friendly Employer insights on building inclusive workplaces
· Special Guests from sport and public life encouraging the next generation
· Networking and collaboration opportunities for organisations and individuals
Looking Ahead
This celebration is more than just one day, it is the start of a wider conversation about representation, opportunity, and belonging. We hope it will inspire future events, partnerships, and progress across Wales.
At Bengal Dragons Foundation, we are committed to creating platforms that empower underrepresented voices and unite communities through sport, culture, and collaboration. This event is an exciting step forward.
Stay tuned for more updates and speaker announcements and we hope to see many of you at the Senedd.
