Cold Survival Kits

Hundreds of thousands of people are homeless or rough sleeping in the UK, many of whom die on our streets every winter.

These people are some of the most vulnerable members of our society, desperately in need of our help and support. Becoming homeless means the loss of a home but also often much more. Many lose their possessions, contact with family and friends, and can become very lonely and isolated in the process.

Alone and neglected, those living on the street struggle to see hope for a brighter future. An overbearing feeling of worthlessness sadly leads many into taking their own life (Bureau of Investigative Journalism). As a result of these challenges, homeless people have a much shorter life expectancy than the rest of the population.

At UK Islamic Mission, we are working tirelessly to support the homeless in our own communities, which is why we are appealing to you. We want to help save the lives of homeless people on our streets this winter. Our cold survival support packs for the homeless could help save a life this winter.

Please help us by donating to our winter appeal today.

Allah (SWT) says, “And be good to the neighbour who is your relative and to the neighbour who is not a relative.” (The Holy Qur'an 4:36)

Brothers and sisters, our neighbours are not just friends, families and those living next door. Our neighbours are the people who surround us in our communities every day. We have all seen the homeless on our streets, perhaps even given them spare change as we pass on by continuing our day. With UK Islamic Mission, you can help the homeless this winter by donating to our surviving winter appeal today.

Your donation of a cold survival kit to a homeless person this winter contains: a sleeping bag, gloves, a warm hat, a scarf and a rucksack.

These cold-weather essentials are important to support the homeless in surviving the bitter the cold winter on the streets.
