Mission Statement for HHUGS:

Helping Households Under Great Stress (HHUGS) is the only UK registered charity, providing protection, empowerment and support to Muslim households harmfully affected by counter-terrorism and national security legislation in the UK and abroad.
For every person arrested or detained, a home is torn apart.  A mother, wife, sister, daughter, son or brother is left traumatised and vulnerable. More often than not, a family suddenly finds themselves without a breadwinner. Unable to afford basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter, they struggle to continue with day-to-day life.  If that wasn’t enough, to add insult to injury, families of a detainee are often ostracized from both the religious and ethnic communities as well as from the wider society.  They become isolated, desperately in need of help.

For most of us it’s hard to imagine a life without our husband, father or brother, without an income or community support. But these victims are real and they need our support.
