When you give to charity this Ramadan, make sure your Zakat reaches the right people. Give safely

The Charity Commission has launched their annual safer giving campaign to help you continue giving generously to registered charities this Ramadan. The Community Safety Team at Manchester City Council is also supporting this campaign and want to make sure that everyone’s zakat gets to the people they want to help by encouraging them to check that the appeal they’re giving to is registered with the Charity Commission.

The Charity Commission highlights some simple steps, such as checking a charity is registered before you give, to ensure that your Zakat gets to the right people.

The Muslim Charities Forum have estimated that Muslims across Britain donate around £100 million during Ramadan. A huge variety of charitable work is delivered off the back of this generosity, saving lives and providing services to people all around the world.

The Charity Commission has also produced a short video to help you check that you are giving to genuine registered charities.
