MINAB & Charity Commission Safer Giving Campaign
Many community organisations and Mosques benefit from the generosity of Muslim people in particular in the Holy Months. Many charities are also raising desperately-needed funds to help the people affected by the famine in East Africa at this time.
The Mosques & Imams National Advisory Board, is encouraging people who want to give to charity to check if the charity they are donating to is registered with the Charity Commission, and to follow its safer giving advice. The Charity Commission offers safer giving advice around all major fundraising drives and emergency appeals.
