Ummah Welfare Trust operates on a unique 100% donations policy. Every penny of Zakah, Sadaqah and Lillah received is used strictly for charitable purposes.



‘Indeed Allah commands that you should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due.’

- Surah Nisa, Verse 58

Ummah Welfare Trust understands the importance of amanah; the responsibility and accountability it brings.

It is why every single pound that Ummah Welfare Trust receives is fully allocated to its designated project. Not a single penny is removed for other purposes.

For example: If a donor gives £10 with the intention of helping a widow, Ummah Welfare Trust will ensure that the widow receives the full £10 inshaAllah.

Alhamdulillah, since the charity’s inception in 2001, not a single penny has ever been deducted for fundraising or administration costs. In fact, over the years an additional £250,000 from the administration fund has been allocated to charitable causes.

All the charity's costs are covered by:

- ‘Lillah’ donations specified for administration. The charity has a separate account for its administration fund to ensure the 100% donations policy is maintained.

- Income generated from UWT clothing banks. There are over 100 clothing banks across the UK. Donated clothes are generally recycled and the income allocated to the administration account.

- Profits received from the UWT Ummah shops and charity shops. Ummah shops sell brand new Islamic items and the charity shops sell new and nearly-new clothing items that have been donated to UWT clothing banks.

- Tax reclaimed from the UK government’s Gift Aid scheme. This allows taxpayers to increase the value of their donation by 25%. This additional money is allocated to the charity’s administration fund.
