| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The purposes of Siraj Foundation UK are to relieve poverty and financial hardship anywhere in the world by providing food, essential items, emergency support, education, training and healthcare initiatives. The charity also aims to promote the preservation of good health through awareness and medical initiatives, advance religious harmony through education and interfaith engagement, and provide facilities for social welfare to improve the conditions of life for individuals in need, particularly those affected by financial hardship, disability, age or social circumstances. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
During the year, the charity focused on providing financial support to charitable initiatives aligned with its objectives. Key activities included: • A contribution of £750 towards the construction of a mosque led by Rima Uddin • A donation of £464 to Coventry Sonali Lions Club to support the provision of food for homeless individuals • A contribution of £1,670 to Peterborough Muslim Community Initiative (PMCI) towards the establishment of a mosque in Peterborough These activities supported both local and wider community needs, including the provision of immediate relief |
| through food distribution and long-term community development through the establishment of places of worship. The charity’s activities provided direct public benefit. Homeless individuals benefitted from access to food through organised feeding initiatives, addressing immediate needs. In addition, wider community groups benefitted from contributions towards mosque projects, which serve as centres for worship, community cohesion and support services. The completion of the mosque project in Peterborough (post year-end) represents a significant long-term benefit to the local community by providing a dedicated space for religious, educational and social activities. |

Para 1.20 | During the year, Siraj Foundation UK made targeted financial contributions in line with its charitable objectives, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term community development. The charity contributed £464 to support homeless feeding initiatives through Coventry Sonali Lions Club. This provided direct assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness, ensuring access to essential food provision and addressing immediate welfare needs. In addition, the charity contributed £750 towards a mosque construction project led by Rima Uddin, and £1,670 to Peterborough Muslim Community Initiative (PMCI) to support the development of a mosque in Peterborough. While the Peterborough mosque was completed after the year end, the funding provided during the year played a role in enabling its completion.

The mosque developments are expected to deliver ongoing and long-term benefits to their respective communities. Overall, the charity’s activities have delivered both immediate impact, through direct support to vulnerable individuals, and sustained benefit through investment in community facilities. |
