A night out supporting Manchester’s homeless
Muslim Charity has been supporting the homeless in the UK for 3 years. Since January 2018, we have been doing regular visits with our #TEAMMC volunteers in Greater Manchester to provide hot food, drinks, warm clothing and more to people sleeping on the streets.
Earlier this week, on 7th December 2020, Brother Shumel Haydar volunteered with Muslim Charity to spread love and kindness to the homeless community in Manchester City Centre, and here’s what he had to say:
“Wrap up really warm cos it’s going to be freezing!”- These were the instructions I gave to my work colleague and good friend Alison before I picked her up. She had brought a huge bag of goodies- biscuits, chocolates, sweets and lots of treats. We met up with Moheen and Azizur close to the M.E.N. and made our way to the City Centre.
Due to the extremely cold temperature, I wasn’t expecting to meet many homeless people, but I was wrong. We spent half an hour on Deansgate serving a group of people, all of them asking for a hot drink. Then we moved onto Market Street, where we met several more people. Moheen had purchased gloves and hats; these were very popular and much appreciated.
