About
Akram Aid
Akram Aid is a registered UK Charity that operates on a 100% Donation Policy, supporting Local, National and International projects, helping the poor, vulnerable and needy. From assisting the local Foodbank, supplying food and clothes in the UK to providing family support, food parcels, clean water and more around the world. We are dedicated to helping all those in need.
Our journey started in October 2020 when a group of close friends and dedicated individuals, who over the years sacrificed their family time to assist in helping multiple charities by supporting, fundraising, cooking and volunteering – merged into a team of 5 and decided that they wanted to take their volunteering to the next level. We formed as “Akram Aid” with the responsibilities of Trustees and to all continue as volunteers. Team members do not take any wages or remunerations as our intentions are to please Allah SWT.
*Akram is an arabic word, when translated means “Most Generous”.
