Tony Blair

It gives me great pleasure to send my best wishes for official opening of the Memon Center. Although unfortunately I cannot attend the official opening due to prior commitments, I would like to congratulate you on all that you have achieved since you purchased the site nearly 15 years ago. The fact that the Center has been built entirely from donations and interest-free loans is a great tribute to the energy and vision of the Memon community.

The Center will provide sports and social facilities, particularly for women and young people. The fact that the Center will be open to all communities will strengthen links between people with diverse faiths and experiences.

This Government is delighted that the Memon community has taken such an active role in public life. We share many common values - a belief in opportunity and enterprise, reward for hard work, tolerance and community. We share a real passion for education and a belief in the importance of family.

I believe that all of the faith communities play a key role in building a strong society. Your contribution is greatly appreciated and I look forward to helping build on this in the future.

With all good wishes
