Government guidance and concerns around the recent increased spread of Covid 19, have led us to the unfortunate conclusion that it would not be possible to open the faith facilities at DMU, at present, in a safe way. Therefore, the campus prayer rooms, ablution spaces and chapel will remain closed until further notice.
