About us
Who are we?
We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.
The Inspiration for this foundation was our late Father. As child he lost his parents, grew up with relatives, was a refugee in the partition, ex-army man, moved to UK and was a great community man and more importantly a great father. This foundation is a Sadqah Jariyah (ongoing charity) for our father.
Through the Haji Bashir Ahmed Foundation, we want to continue helping the poor and vulnerable across many countries as our father did. In 2019 we set our fathers foundation up and started to reach out to our local and national community with the aim of handing over the donations to the most vulnerable people.
