Himmah Building Communities Through Solidarity
Winner of the King’s Award 2024 πŸ’šπŸŒ± Meeting the needs and aspirations of the community.

Himmah is a grassroots community based social justice initiative for poverty, race and education equalities. We achieve this by providing direct services, like our food bank, community meals, clothes, furniture, hate crime awareness and reporting, discrimination casework and English and supplementary classes. We strive to break dependency and empower people to create dignity, justice and change thorough community organising, research and campaigning. Our work is driven by an ethos of compassion, service and justice as transformative forces for positive social change that is needed in modern day Britain. We aspire to create change by building more cohesive, educated and prosperous communities. The story of Himmah starts with the story of Ahmed. In 2010, a man named Ahmed was finding food from bins and sleeping on pieces of cardboard in the street. This sparked a call to action which saw a community come together to help a man who had been abandoned by the society he lived in, Himmah was found in this action. Since then Himmah has gone on to help countless individuals whose stories are similar. We have a proud history of providing support to individuals and families in need, refugees and communities being discriminated. Himmah ensures that donations are dealt with in the most transparent way possible so supporters are assured of the change they have helped make.

A Duke & Duchess walk into Himmah… what a day. ❀️

We were honoured to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Himmah, joining a cooking class, sharing the meal with our partner organisations, then visiting our food bank to pack parcels and tour the building.

Behind every meal and parcel are people who care deeply about our community. Today was a chance to share that care and celebrate the team who make it possible.

Thank you for visiting our space, spending time with our team and being part of our community today.

A day we’ll hold close to our hearts. ❀️

Check in on someone today, and be kind to yourself too. You matter, and you don’t have to face it alone.

πŸ’š 4,362 food parcels. Three months. One community coming together.

Between July and September, Himmah distributed thousands of food parcels to individuals and families across Nottingham.

As demand continues, so does our commitment to ensuring nobody faces hunger alone.

Solidarity means showing up, and standing alongside people when they need us most. πŸ’š

Proud to see our community come together for the launch of the Nottingham Anti-Muslim Hate Crime Project, with Himmah and the British Muslim Trust working to ensure people are heard, believed and supported.

Thank you to everyone helping turn that commitment into action.

This is just the start.

WE DID IT. Together, we raised Β£18,065.92! πŸ’š

Behind that total are months of effort, generosity and people showing up for one another.

To every runner who trained, fundraised and kept going when it got tough. To every person who donated what they could, shared a page or cheered someone on. To every volunteer, family member, friend, partner and colleague who helped with the planning, preparations and everything behind the scenes, thank you.

Whether you were there from the very beginning or stepped in on the day, you helped make this happen.

A special thank you to The Movement and Breaking Barriers Building Bridges for bringing the energy, vibes and for joining us on this journey.

Seeing our community come together at the Robin Hood Half & Mini Marathon was truly inspiring. People of different ages, backgrounds and abilities, all giving something of themselves to support others.

Your generosity will help Himmah provide hot meals, food parcels and essential support for people facing hardship across Nottingham. Behind that support is someone who deserves dignity, care and the reassurance that they don’t have to face difficult times alone.

This is the change we can create together.

To each and every person who played a part: this achievement belongs to you. πŸ’š
