Ramadan Mubarak from HHUGS
A time of self-reflection, selflessness and giving up that which you love for the sake of Allaah.
What HHUGS are doing this Ramadan.
Alhamdulilah this year we have embarked on a number of new projects to help our beneficiaries and the need for funds is ever more critical and that’s why we need your support.
Indeed, many families still remain isolated, scared and reluctant to fully engage with their local communities and thats why HHUGS have launched two new exciting projects of the Emotional Support Programme and the Rehabilitation Programme. With these two projects we plan to engage our families like never before
Emotional Support Programme (ESP) HHUGS sponsors a wide range of activities for beneficiaries to relieve some of the emotional stress by re-engaging them with their community and taking advantage of the vast array of activities, courses, social gatherings and other facilities that are available to them.
Rehabilitation Programme – helps ex-detainees and their families rebuild their lives after they have been released or served their sentence. Since the launch of this project we have helped fund a new take away shop thus helping a family to start a new business. Similarly we have sponsored educational and vocational courses for several ex-detainees to help widen their employment opportunities.
Empowerment – empowering the wives of detainees with essential skills is critical so they can become more independent and self sufficient in the absence of their husbands. Many wives must cope with the practical, emotional and financial burden whilst adapting to a new life with young children and no husband, For this reason, we have organised driving lessons and English classes for many of the women across the country.
How Can I Help HHUGS this Ramadan?
Eid Gifts
Children on Eid have great fun, with Eid Gifts, sweets, new clothes, favorite toys, best wishes from family and friends this is the way it should be. This is why each year HHUGS deliver special Eid Gifts to our beneficiaries to ensure that even those families and young children who have had to live under the pressures of the anti-terror legislations have something to enjoy and look forward to on this festive occasion. Paying £10 this Ramadan will help bring to life the delights of Eid. Your £10 will go towards a Gift this Eid for an innocent child, just like yours.

The detainees would also appreciate a thought this Ramadan, send them your Ramadan or Eid cards– addresses can found here on the HHUGS website
http://www.hhugs.org.uk/write-to-the-detainees/329 . A simple greeting card or a letter to these brothers, many of whom are single or with no family would make a great difference - a simple action having a great effect on someone’s life.
Raise awareness in your local community and fundraise for HHUGS
Be part of our team and help us to bring HHUGS to the people. Help us raise awareness about the work we do. Why not gather a group of friends for a worthwhile course by arrange to have Iftars, events or small gatherings to fundraise for HHUGS this Ramadan and we will support you all the way.
Approach your local Mosque or community centre
Approach them about giving HHUGS a collection, an opportunity to fundraise and build links. If you know a mosque that will be willing to give HHUGS a few minutes before Taraweeh or Jummah prayers to give a small talk to the congregation and collect donations then please give us a call. Remember, the reward for charity in the month of Ramadan is increased many fold by Allah and you will get the reward for every person who donates to HHUGS at your mosque Insha'Allah
Dua
Please remember our cause and the beneficiaries in your duas while you are fasting,

May Allah reward you all
