Story
I have worked with and fundraised for many charities in my life but can safely say that none are as unique in the nature and quality of their services as HHUGS. It truly is an incredible charity working on a shoestring budget to illuminate the lives of suffering families, marginalised in the shadows of the society we live in.
While dozens of British charities are involved in humanitarian relief work around the world, HHUGS is the ONLY charity caring for the needs of the innocent women and children who are on our doorstep but who have been neglected by all.
Already psychologically scarred by the traumatic experiences of suffering from police raids and the loss of a husband/father, these families are socially ostracised and criminalised for the actions of another.
HHUGS exists to to protect, support and empower these families. We strive to bring relief and support to households devastated by anti-terror raids by offering friendship in addition to emotional, financial, and practical support, advice and information through a country-wide network of dedicated volunteers.
HHUGS does not aim simply to alleviate financial hardship but to provide the crucial emotional and moral support and practical skills necessary to empower these invisible victims to re-emerge from the darkness as confident individuals and full members of society.
Help me raise £3000 as part of HHUGS mission to raise £100,000 this Ramadan to enable it to continue to support some of the most vulnerable families in Britain today.
