Since November 2020, Rumi's Table has been serving hot meals, winter clothing, hygiene items and tinned goods to the homeless, those in need, refugees, low-income families and anyone else who is in the queue. No questions asked.

Shelter forecasts that 307,000 individuals in the UK are sleeping rough or in temporary homes or hostels, a 13,000 rise over 2016. Britain has one of Europe's highest rates of homelessness, with one out of every 200 people without a home.

Many homeless persons suffer from mental illnesses or are victims of violent crime, making them an extremely vulnerable and often disregarded subset of society. At the moment, a night on the streets has turned into a struggle for survival. They require our assistance more than ever before.

We are in urgent need of funds to help sustain this project for the long term.

Mawlana Rumi was asked, "Which music sound is haram?" Mawlana Rumi replied, "The sound of tablespoons playing in the pots of the rich, which reached the ears of a hungry poor."

Rumi's Table is an ongoing feeding programme making a profound impact across Lesotho, Pakistan, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Uganda, and Nottingham. This programme is more than just about feeding; it addresses deep-seated fears of food scarcity.

As we grow with your support we hope to reach more countries. In places like South Africa, children arrive three hours early, placing their plates or containers in line to reserve their spot. This early arrival is not just to secure a meal but stems from a fear of missing out on food entirely, a stark indicator of the critical need for such initiatives. Rumi's Table not only nourishes bodies but also brings hope and stability to these communities, reminding us of the urgency and impact of our mission.

You can make a one-off donation or contribute regularly and help continue to change lives in your community.
