Who We Are

Empowering Communities, Changing Lives

Almarah Foundation UK is a community-focused, faith-inspired charity rooted in compassion, dignity, and justice. While our foundation stems from the pioneering humanitarian work started in 1995 by Maj (R) Rasheed Warraich (late) and expanded in 2012, our UK chapter is tailored specifically to address the unique needs of vulnerable communities across Britain.

We operate weekly food banks in London, Birmingham, and Manchester, support orphans, assist families experiencing hardship or domestic distress, offer mental health therapy, and empower youth through education.
