Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The National Zakat foundation is doing a Winter Challenge where you have no hot food or drink for a week. Dates 25th January 2016 - 31st January 2016. 

The Zakat Fund is a lifeline to those in need. They receive applications for support from desperate individuals and families on a daily basis, many of whom have nowhere to go and have all but given up hope. During the winter, the applications double and people struggle more with basic needs which we have as a luxury and don't realise it.  One day it could be you needing support from organisations such as this. 

The National Zakat Foundation primarily assists individuals that fall into the categories of the poor, needy and indebted who are resident in the UK. This may include some or all of the following:

• Refugees
• Ex-offenders
• Homeless
• Individuals suffering from any sickness, disability or terminal illness, and where there has been a loss of income.Funeral expenses if a family is finding it difficult to meet costs
• Victims of domestic violence and/or sexual abuse who are fleeing from their partners and are in financial difficulty
• Older people who are restricted and isolated due to finance
• Individuals with no recourse to public funds
• Individuals suffering from any sickness, disability or terminal illness, and where there has been a loss of income
• Individuals whose income is not enough to meet basic needs
• Assistance and guidance for those who are in debt out of necessity, especially where they are incurring interest
• Assistance with rent payments and rent deposits if in arrears
• Funeral expenses if a family is finding it difficult to meet costs
• In exceptional circumstances for any urgent matters
