M A B Charitable Trust

The M A B Charitable Trust is a UK-based charity dedicated to educating and supporting the Muslim community with religious and spiritual needs while advancing wider British society through humanitarian efforts like poverty relief, feeding the homeless, and promoting social responsibility. Rooted in Islamic teachings and the Prophet Muhammad's example, it embodies core values of compassion, social justice, religious harmony, community empowerment, youth engagement, and support for new Muslims (reverts). Distinctively, it blends faith-based initiatives with strictly UK-local humanitarian action, eschewing overseas funding to foster interfaith understanding and project a positive image of Muslims as compassionate citizens.

It prioritizes anti-poverty interventions such as food banks, meal distributions (especially during Ramadan), and support for those below the poverty line; faith-oriented education and pastoral programs for Muslim youth, families, and reverts; and community events like mosque-based Iftar meals, youth competitions, and workshops. Beneficiaries include the homeless and impoverished from any background, alongside underserved Muslim groups, with funding channeled to grassroots projects delivering tangible relief and spiritual belonging.

Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and community groups operating exclusively in the UK (with a focus on urban England), preferring small to medium grassroots organizations demonstrating community accountability and alignment with its dual humanitarian-faith ethos; unsolicited applications are not accepted. Typical grants range from £2,000 to £10,000 for project costs only—no core funding, capital, or unrestricted support—with decisions made internally without published deadlines, cycles, or application processes.

What sets it apart is its unwavering UK focus, integration of Islamic principles with social cohesion efforts, and emphasis on direct, needs-led impact over broad national programs, making it ideal for aligned local charities tackling poverty and faith-based inclusion.
