We are raising funds for our Charity of the year - PL84U Al-Suffa, a cross-community interfaith initiative providing hot meals and companisonship, food bank, clothes bank and pampering sessions for the elderly, homeless and people in need of all faiths and beliefs.

Since Covid hit, the number of people accessing the food bank has increased and continues to rise on a daily basis. Through its scheme PL84U AL SUFFA offers fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy products.

The charity is looking to establish a long-term base for its operations: “We need a fixed venue with a minimum of 10 years’ lease so that we are able to support and operate our charity to its full potential and have room for growth,” says founder and executive director, Saira Begum Mir BEM, BCAc.

The charity is also in desperate need of a hybrid van.
