Helping at Home: UK Programmes

A staggering 1 in 5 people are living in poverty in the UK

Struggling to pay their bills, find work and hold a roof over their heads; life is incredibly challenging for the poorest people in the UK.

In recent years, we’ve seen how families are battling food poverty, increasing numbers of people are sleeping rough and refugee and asylum-seeking communities continue to face uphill struggles.

We believe that everyone has the right to shelter, food and a source of income. That’s why we’re working across the UK to support vulnerable individuals and communities in need and to transform lives.

Transforming lives across the UK

Here at Islamic Relief, we’re partnered with a range of local community-based and larger national organisations to help support and empower disadvantaged individuals and communities across the country.

We also support emergency response initiatives across the UK so when emergencies hit, we’re able to help communities in need. And as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, we also support a number of organisations offering support to people affected by Covid and the economic impact of the virus.
