Sheikh Nazim Helping Hands

Objectives and Activities - Our vision, Mission and Values

Financial Period: 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2022

The Sheikh Nazim Helping Hands Charity (SNHH) was set up in memory of our teacher and Inspiration Maulana Sheikh Nazim al Haqqani on the 7th May 2014 to try and continue the great work of this saintly individual, it aims to follow in the footsteps of his life and teachings by helping others.

This aims and objectives of the charity are to assist people from all walks of life through helping them when times are hard for them. This being an Integral part of the Islamic faith, as Muslims are always encouraged throughout their lives to help others in any way they can as detailed in our traditions and holy book, in order for people to better serve themselves in this life and benefit them in the next.

Our aim is to help the disadvantaged, and needy people throughout the UK and further, if possible, this is mainly through self-referral and referrals from the city council, SureStart Manchester, Manchester Womens Aid.

We also receive referrals from Schools for struggling families especially during the festive periods when we provide hampers, toys and toiletries during Christmas, Eid and Ramadan celebrations.

We work with a range of fantastic organisations and volunteers whilst also offering other charities support in any way we can throughout the year. This year we funded another charity, Bollyfit Active who were providing fresh food hampers to a local refugee community for Ramadan.

Our main activities are based around the provision of food and hygiene essentials to those in need, especially victims of domestic violence, refugees, asylum seekers, families waiting for benefits or those just struggling to make ends meet, of course more pressing in these difficult times with COVID and the economic downturn and we try never to turn anyone away and provide whatever is needed.

The foodbank is located at the Pankhurst centre in central Manchester, where we receive regular urgent referrals from Manchester City council and Sure Start plus other organisations and individuals for food parcels. Clothing, baby equipment, toiletries, baby milk and nappies for young mothers are also given out.

Our website is currently undergoing updates and development, and the most important source of information continues to be on our Instagram and Facebook pages with latest updates and activities posted on a regular basis.

Additional information

SNHH charity is a volunteer run organisation and it is only with the support and dedication of our volunteers and generous contributors that SNHH can provide continuous support to those suffering from poverty and distress. This year we also received a generous donation of £1000 from Manchester BME network.

A big thank you to Volunteers, who have committed countless hours of their valuable time to community work in our city and beyond, may they all be blessed with plenty! Also, a big thank you to all the organisations and individuals that donate food / toiletries etc for distribution.

SNHH has a strong balance sheet position (please see accounts submitted) at the period end, which is sufficient to cover ongoing costs, plans are afoot for expanding our services by establishing a weekly cooked meal for the elderly and needy people once we have a suitable place to do this, and a drop in for women to discuss their issues (Chit, Chat and Chai)
