A Message From Our Chairperson
Rifit Rashid
Chairperson

Standing with families, one neighbour at a time.

Compassion is not a gesture — it is a promise. When we serve a family in need, we are not just giving food or tuition; we are giving them dignity, hope and a future.

Since our earliest days, Almarah Foundation UK has been built on a simple belief: that every person deserves to be met with kindness, regardless of their background. Whether we are running a food bank in East London or helping a mother put her child through school, our work has always been about restoring dignity to those facing hardship.

I invite you to walk this path with us. Whether you donate, volunteer or simply spread the word, you become part of a community that refuses to let anyone face their hardest days alone.

A Message From Our CEO
Ashfaq Ali Ch.
Chief Executive Officer

Transparency, action and impact — every single day.

Every pound that enters our charity is treated as a trust. My commitment to you is simple: our work will always be transparent, our impact measurable, and our doors open to anyone who needs us.

Running a UK charity means balancing compassion with accountability. From the food parcels we distribute to the tuition classes we fund, every programme is designed around measurable outcomes and the real needs of the communities we serve.

Under our current roadmap, we are expanding into more cities, deepening partnerships with local councils and mosques, and building the infrastructure to help even more families facing hardship. If you are a donor, volunteer or partner, you are essential to that journey.
