❄️ Sponsor Me as I Walk Through History - So Families Don’t Face Winter Alone

This winter, I’m embracing the cold - so vulnerable families across the UK don’t have to.

I’m taking part in Walking Through History, Embrace's first unique winter walk through the heart of London, where I’ll retrace the footsteps of Britain’s rich Muslim heritage while fundraising to help families survive the coldest, harshest months of the year.

As I wrap up warm, defy the winter chill, and walk through history, I’m asking you to walk beside me - by helping raise vital funds to keep families warm, fed, clothed and safe this winter.

👣 Why I’m Walking Beside Them

Here, on our doorstep, families supported by Embrace are already struggling with the rising cost of living and fragile financial security. Winter doesn’t just bring cold - it brings crisis.

For millions across the UK - especially single mothers, families of detainees, widows, and asylum seekers - Winter deepens despair, reawakens trauma, and turns daily hardship into a crisis.

• Mothers become single parents overnight due to imprisonment, detention, or loss


• Households are burdened with debt, rising fuel bills, and unstable housing


• Families are forced to choose between heating or eating


• Children face winter without warm clothing, bedding, or safe homes


• Homes in poor repair and lacking insulation become icy, damp, and unliveable.

The absence of security - emotional, financial, and physical - leaves families carrying unimaginable burdens, made far worse by winter.

This isn’t happening far away.

It’s happening a few doors down, in our towns, our cities, our communities.

❄️ Be a Snowflake of Mercy - Help Me Create a Blanket of Relief

By donating to my page you will help create a Blanket of Relief for families facing cold, hunger, and isolation.

Embrace urgently needs to raise £150k to support over 482 families this winter, and they have £113k left of their target - including:

• Single mothers and widows


• Families of detainees and prisoners


• Asylum seekers living on as little as £9.95 a week


• Refugee families facing their first winter in the UK

Like snowflakes, no act of mercy falls alone.
When we come together, small acts create life-saving warmth.

🥶 The Winter Reality in the UK

Across the UK, poverty bites harder in the cold. And it hits Muslim households the hardest.

• 10 million households in fuel poverty


• 14 million people went without food in 2024 - including nearly 4 million children


• Over 2.3 million homes will keep the heating off this winter as they can’t afford it


• 750,000 elderly people are choosing between heating and eating


• 50% of Muslim households live in poverty - three times the national average

Your donations will bring immediate relief to:

• 👩‍👧‍👦 A single mother, struggling to buy warm bedding and clothing for her children


• 👨🏾‍✈️ A prisoner’s family, left isolated and alone, facing dark nights and no heat


• 👴🏽 An elderly uncle battling grief and illness, unable to afford gas for his freezing home


• 🧑🏽‍🦱 An asylum seeker far from home, living on £9.95 a week and barred from working, wearing only the clothes he arrived in


• 👨‍👩‍👧 A refugee family placed in an unfurnished flat with no heating, fleeing war but facing hardship all over again
