## **ATIA LOKHAT** 

## **A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO** 

Zubeda Welcome was founded in 2016 and registered as CIO in April, 2022. Initially focused on resettlement, we soon realized that the most urgent need was ensuring refugee children could retain their faith and cultural identity. Today, we provide essential Madrasa education to over 650 children across the UK, fostering their spiritual and emotional well-being, while ensuring they successfully integrate into British life. 

## **CEO, FOUNDER**

**INTRODUCTION** The mission of Zubeda Welcome is precisely defined by the critical humanitarian need for displaced children in the UK. We operate with a strategic niche focus on providing access to high-quality Islamic education for vulnerable refugee and asylum seeker children. This focus is essential given the vast scale of the issue: an estimated 700,000 refugees and asylum seekers reside in the UK, with over 85% of this population being Muslim. This substantial demographic often lacks targeted support for cultural and faith continuity. By intervening at this crucial stage, the charity’s primary aims are threefold: to preserve their faith and cultural identity, to foster their spiritual and emotional well-being following trauma, and ultimately, to facilitate their successful, holistic integration into British life.

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The Trustees of Zubeda Welcome confirm they have duly considered and adhered to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. For the reporting period of 2025, our core activities and strategic objectives remain resolutely focused on benefiting our target population: vulnerable refugee and asylum seeker children residing across the UK. Our primary activity involves providing essential educational opportunities focusing on spiritual and emotional well-being, which is vital for successful integration into British life, ultimately contributing to the wider community's social cohesion and stability. We are committed to delivering tangible benefits to our beneficiaries by ensuring our services are accessible and impactful. As we continue to grow and reach more children, we are expanding our network and building relationships that strengthen the charitable sector's overall support for displaced populations, fostering a more inclusive and cohesive society. 

## **Grantmaking** 

Zubeda Welcome is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who play a vital role in the delivery of its charitable activities. During the reporting period, approximately 40 volunteers supported the charity. Of these, 24 volunteers were actively involved in delivering a structured Ramadan fundraising programme, through which the charity raised over £33,000 to support its charitable objectives. A further 16 volunteers supported the planning and delivery of the charity’s PreRamadan Gala fundraising event. 

As the charity continues to grow, it is actively recruiting additional volunteers, particularly to support administrative functions, social media and communications, and community engagement, in order to strengthen operational capacity and support sustainable service delivery. 

**7** 



## **Objectives and Activities** 

The primary activities undertaken by Zubeda Welcome are designed to achieve maximum public benefit, specifically targeting vulnerable refugee and asylum seeker children. Our work focuses on identifying eligible children and formally sponsoring them to attend local Madrasas for essential faith-based education. To ensure efficiency and quality, the charity engages in robust collaboration with Madrasas, community organizations, and partner charities to facilitate seamless enrollment and support tailored curriculum delivery. 

Building on our foundation, the charity has strategically built on these key projects in 

2024/25 to enhance the breadth and depth of our support: 

● 'Teach Quran, Retain Eman': Provides Madrasa fees for refugee and asylum seeker children, ensuring continuity of their Islamic education. 

● 'Counselling for Quran Students': Recognising the profound trauma of displacement and loss, this vital project aims to provide targeted mental health and trauma support for our beneficiary children. 

● 'Empowerment Programme': Focused on holistic growth, this program provides our Qur'an students with recognition, skills development, and achievement opportunities designed to build confidence and pave the way for better future social and educational opportunities.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **Key Operational Outcomes** 

The last year saw significant expansion and deepened impact, clearly demonstrating the charity's enhanced commitment and capacity to support vulnerable refugee and asylum seeker children across the UK. We surpassed our target by identifying and supporting 650 plus children, successfully establishing a strong presence in the Midlands and North of England. Our network capacity grew substantially, increasing our partnerships with Madrasa providers to 62. This growth allowed us to structure direct support for over 500 children. Due to limited staffing capacity, approximately 50% were supported through online platforms. Outreach efforts were intensified, with 60 asylum hotels visited (up from 45) and community awareness stalls increasing to 12. Crucially, we expanded our focus beyond fees sponsorship to include holistic development: we delivered five diverse empowerment projects including the National Qu’ran Competition judged by Imam Is’haaq Jassat) Also we supported 45 children with specialized help like a Hifz programme and counselling. A major strategic and financial milestone was achieved in February 2025 with our very first Pre-Ramadan Gala Fundraising Dinner. This inaugural event proved to be a great success and also significantly boosted the charity's profile and marketing efforts. The success of the Gala Dinner was instrumental in building trust and confidence among our existing funders and partners. We also delivered our first fundraising trek, our inaugural fundraising gala, and an online national achievement celebration for refugee families as well as lunch at the CEO’s home. The past year marked a period of significant service expansion and strengthened impact.

## **Performance & Achievements: Deepening Impact** 

Zubeda Welcome's achievements have made a significant difference to our beneficiaries and contributed positively to wider society, moving beyond initial support to focus on long-term empowerment and holistic integration. 

**Educational Excellence and Integration** : Over the last six years, the charity has sustained remarkable educational outcomes, achieving good attendance for sponsored children. Friendships developed with British-born Muslims promote a comfortable form of integration while preserving values and cultural identity. **Empowerment and Community Building:** Student Empowerment Projects impact the wider community in supporting social integration. Our projects celebrate refugee children's resilience through opportunities like Hifz, Quran competitions, and Leadership training as well as a public speaking workshop. Building on past successes, our formal Empowerment Programme this year has been instrumental in providing beneficiaries with a sense of empowerment and purpose, including skills in Public speaking and Writing/Publishing. The charity hosts an annual Eid gathering and empowerment events, strengthening community bonds and inspiring the next generation of Muslims.

## **Performance & Achievements: Deepening Impact** 

**Signposting Support:** The structured support fostered through our network ensures children and their families are routinely signposted to other critical resettlement needs, including legal aid, career guidance, further education, skills development, work experience, and employment opportunities. 

**Case Study – Rayan’s Story:** Over the past two years, we have supported Rayan by covering madrasa fees, providing travel support to attend events, and delivering public-speaking coaching. At our pre-Ramadan gala, he confidently shared his personal journey in front of more than 250 guests. His progress reflects the broader impact of our empowerment aims—supporting children not only spiritually, but emotionally and socially, helping them resist missionary pressure, grow in confidence, and become future leaders.

- **CHALLENGES & GROWTH** 

- **Core Challenges:Staffing, Funding,andOutreach** Despite rapid growth, Zubeda 

Welcome faces ongoing challenges with staffing and funding, which can strain our capacity to deliver services at full scale. To address these, we are recruiting for key roles and actively seeking additional funding through grants and networking with potential partners at charity events. 

## **Strategic Outreach and Growth Initiatives** 

Our outreach efforts are critical to locating displaced children in need of support. However, this work requires significant time and resources, with staff dedicating hours to hotel visits and direct outreach. To sustain and expand our impact, we need to grow our team and secure ongoing financial backing for both staff and projects. Renewal Programme (Ongoing): 

To strengthen data integrity and ensure continued support, we initiated a full 

## renewal and verification process. To date: 

- 118 families have been re-registered and approved for zakat-funded support 

- 267 children have confirmed face-to-face madrasa placements 

- Approximately 300+ children remain pending or unreachable and are being actively followed up 

Hotel outreach has been temporarily paused while the team prioritises renewals and manages capacity constraints. London hotel outreach is planned to resume by the 

end of the year, subject to staffing and available resources. 

## **Regional Expansion** 

## **North of England Expansion:** 

   - Manchester: A volunteer Project Coordinator was appointed. Five madrasa providers have been engaged, five awareness stalls delivered, and two families onboarded. 

   - Bradford: A new Project Coordinator has been onboarded supported through a 

   - partnership with Bradford Foundation Trust. The CEO will attend meetings in Bradford (15–18 October) to establish partnerships and strengthen madrasa collaboration. 

- Additional funding is being sought to increase hours for both Regional Coordinators 

**13** 



- **CHALLENGES & GROWTH** 

**Midlands Outreach (On Hold)** Although we have identified hundreds of children in Birmingham and surrounding areas who require support, expansion to the Midlands is paused due to lack of funding for a dedicated Project Coordinator. This remains a strategic priority when funding becomes available. 

## P **lans for Future Growth (2025/2026)** 

Our growth strategy focuses on addressing the needs of 650+ identified children, including 200+ on the waiting list, and expanding our reach to thousands more. 

- **Tailored Outreach:** We aim to reach every displaced child in need, ensuring no child in hotels is denied faith education. Once identified, we offer support, no matter their location. **Bridging Hotel Partnership (Network):** By partnering with hotels, madrasas, mosques, and Islamic centers, we aim to create a network, offering a "bridge" that improves access to services, strengthens community impact, and offers refugees a sense of belonging. **On the Ground Support:** We offer support through community guides, building trust with students, families, and madrasas. Our online ZW Madrasa will be further developed to help asylum seekers in remote areas access education. Financial Targets: In the 2025/2026 academic year, we aim to financially support further refuge/asylum seeker’s children, with plans to increase by 200 annually. 

We have several key events and projects planned for the year ahead: 

- **World Qur’an Awareness Day** 

- The third World Quran Awareness Day will be officially launched on 1 February 2026. **Pre-Ramadan Gala and Book Launch** 

The first ever book launch featuring stories written by Zubeda Welcom’s Qur’an students will take place in London on 1 February 2026 to support our outreach and fundraising goals. 

Looking further ahead, we are preparing to introduce our Dawah Project in 2026: **Zubeda Welcome Hearts** — a welcoming initiative designed to support both Muslim and non-Muslim refugees and asylum seekers upon arrival
