Our Story

Our mission is simple

We aim to support those who are eligible for Zakah within Leicestershire. We are interested in hearing from those qualifying for Zakah and requiring help with their housing costs, education needs, funeral expenses, health fees, vulnerable grants, training costs and hardship funds. Plus others as need demands.

Our objective

To provide a financial netting to residents of Leicestershire who have not been catered for by the state institutes or lapsed due to circumstances out of their control.

We have Zakah funds for Muslims and other financial sources for the remaining communities in Leicestershire.
