What is Charity Week?
Charity Week for orphans started off as a volunteer-led initiative where students in the UK came together for a week of fundraising. They then joined forces with our parent organisation, Islamic Relief UK and now this campaign has grown globally. Throughout the past 17 years, Charity Week have raising over 9 million pounds collectively. With up to seven countries participating, from the UK to Ireland, Germany, Qatar, South Africa, USA and Canada.
Help orphans we’re in a global pandemic!
The onset of Covid-19 has affected the entire world. With infection rates increasing, travel has been affected, gatherings have been banned and events cancelled. Many people have lost their jobs, livelihoods, their loved ones and are struggling to make ends meet.
In troubling times like these, Charity Week is a beacon of hope. Bringing the community together in creative ways through interesting online events, socially distanced bake sales and individual challenges, treks and so on.
