As we enter the holy months of Ramadan and Lent, many of us reflect on our spiritual journeys, practice discipline, and look for ways to give back to those in need. While Ramadan and Lent are times of fasting and sacrifice for millions worldwide, for many families in Nottingham, hunger is not a choice but a harsh reality they face every single day.

At Himmah, a social justice charity dedicated to tackling food poverty, we aim to provide much-needed support to those struggling to access food and necessities. With your help, we can ensure that no one in our community faces hunger alone during these meaningful months.

The Struggle of Food Poverty in Nottingham

In Nottingham, food poverty is a growing issue that affects thousands of families. The rising cost of living, economic challenges, and access to resources make it difficult for some to secure enough food to sustain their families. This leaves many individuals and families vulnerable and in need of help.

That’s where we come in. Himmah has been serving the community since 2010, providing food parcels, hot meals, and essential support services to those in need. However, as the demand for our services grows, so does our need for support.

How You Can Help: Our Ramadan and Lent Appeal

This Ramadan and Lent, we are launching our Poverty Appeal to help tackle food insecurity in Nottingham. With your generosity, we can provide essential food parcels, warm meals, and critical support to individuals and families facing hunger during this important time of reflection, giving, and selflessness.

Thanks to the Aviva Community Fund, your donation will have twice the impact. Aviva will match every contribution up to £250, pound for pound, meaning your support will go twice as far in helping those who need it most.

Every contribution counts, and with the matching scheme from Aviva, your gift will go even further.

Why your support matters:

Food poverty doesn’t just impact people’s health—it affects their dignity, sense of security, and ability to thrive. During Ramadan and Lent, we are reminded of the importance of selflessness and solidarity with those in need. By donating to our Poverty Appeal, you’re helping to ensure that families in Nottingham can access the essentials they need when support is most needed. Your generosity will provide comfort and security to those facing uncertainty.

This is more than just about food. It’s about community, compassion, and solidarity during these sacred months. Together, we can create a stronger, more united Nottingham where no one has to go hungry, no matter the circumstances.
