Ramadan Giving Day 17: Al-Mizan Charitable Trust

Al-Mizan Charitable Trust is a Muslim grant-funder which supports disadvantaged people and deprived communities across the UK, regardless of their faith or cultural background.

Through the General Welfare Fund, the Trust provides small grants, which help with the costs of education and training, employment and enterprise, household items, medical and mobility, and subsistence.

The Trust operates a flexible Grants Policy, which is designed to meet a person’s individual needs. Beneficiaries include children and young people, single parents, elderly people, victims of domestic violence or abuse, asylum seekers and refugees, prisoners and ex-offenders, disabled people, and the working poor.

When the cold winter months begin, homeless people receive Winter Warmer Packs that contain warm clothing, toiletries, and first aid items. To celebrate Mother’s Day, Mother & Baby Kits are handed out to new mothers who cannot afford essential baby items.

You can find out more about the impact of the charity through its case studies here and donate here.
