Barakah Food Aid

Barakah Food Aid has been set up to help those in need of food in our local communities. Based in South Manchester but willing to assist wherever we can.

We feel that more needs to be done to help, more can be done to help, as long as we work together to help others that's all that matters. We are based in South Manchester in the Whalley Range and Chorlton area, but are able and willing to help wherever help is needed, regardless of postcode. Barakah Food Aid is managed by people with the same intentions....to help those who need help, be they homeless, be they families, be they single parent families. For the commUNITY, by the commUNITY.

Donations of non-perishable food items are desperately needed. If you could help with food items or pre-packed food parcels, it will all be welcomed.

The last couple of years we've asked for 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝘀.

If you can put the actual parcel together, with what donations you have, this would help us hugely. It helps us on storage space and packing time.

Each bag of non perishable food pack usually contains the following:

Cereal
2/4 x beans
Tinned tuna
2x Tinned veg soup
2x Tinned meat soup (or veg)
1x Tinned tomato
1x Tinned peas
1x Tinned chickpeas
1x Tinned sweetcorn
1x Tinned fruit
1x Rice pudding
Jam
Pasta sauce
Pasta
Packet soups (4)
Packet noodles (4)
Packet mash
Small pack of tea or coffee
Biscuits

Toiletries

We add a bag of fresh items purchased on the day, which is only possible via your kind donations.

Private message us here when you're ready to drop with us, or txt/WhatsApp us on 07506527523 and we will give you the drop off address.

Eid Mubarak to all. Hope all who were celebrating have had a good, peaceful day. Keep the needy, the oppressed in our thoughts and prayers.

This afternoons food service went really well, thanks to the support and kindness from you all. All this gorgeous food was purchased from MyLahore, the customer service, delivery and quality of food, just exceptional.

Thank you to our friends/volunteers, Pete Zebedee , Danny O'Sullivan , Laura, Afshan Ahmed absolute troopers.

Thank you to Caroline from Read Manchester and Manchester Libraries for setting up their book stalls and distributing free books to the kids. And thank you to Heena and her family for bringing so many toys and gifts for all the kids, absolutely amazing effort from all.

All in all, a busy, hectic, but fulfilling day of Eid had with all. The smiles from the children and parents, worth every moment.

Thank you again to each and everyone of you for your kindness and ongoing support with all that we're able to do.

Thank you, always a pleasure to help and support. The pupils are a credit to the school. You all do an amazing job. ❤️

Last day of the month of Ramadan for us today. Tomorrow we will be celebrating Eid, to mark the end of the month of fasting, prayer and charity.

We will be celebrating tomorrow, the day is called Eid, which translates to "festival," "feast," or "celebration". Or Eid-Al-Fitr which translates as "festival of breaking the fast".

We continue to wish peace and unity amongst all. And may the oppressed be freed from their pain and heartache. They are at the forefront of our thoughts, along with those who are no longer with us.

May kindness, compassion and charity be our lasting legacy.

Alhamdulillah. Always.

A huge thank you to Ladybarn Primary School , Cringle Brook Primary School and Green End Primary School , all part of Kingsway Community Trust , for their kindness and support during the month of Ramadan.

The pupils, the staff and parents at these schools have been nothing short of truly amazing. Over the years they have consistently helped us to support families and individuals within our communities. And this last month has been no different.

As well as referring families, they help with getting non-perishable food items to us. And yesterday, Wednesday 18th March, we collected an enormous amount of food donated by the pupils at these schools.

These donations will reach families and individuals locally, from the families we support directly. But also through local churches that provide a free food service, but are themselves struggling to get donations in. Namely St Clements Church in Openshaw and Reach Church in Stalybridge. They do amazing work in supporting those in need.

On behalf of all those we're able to assist throughout the year, we thank each and everyone of you for your kindness and support.

On Wednesday we were approached by one of the South Manchester neighbourhood teams, asking if we would be able to assist with Eid dinner (celebration of the end of Ramadan). Without missing a beat we said yes, like you do.

400 asylum seekers, 150 of them being children, would need to be catered for.

After speaking with many of our catering contacts, we've managed to arrange food and drink for these families. At a favourable price.

But, we are only able to assist with the help of each and everyone of you.

The following is the menu we have organised:

Naan
Chicken biriyani
Kebabs (chicken)
Samosas
Aloo Palak
Chicken karahi
Salad and yoghurt sauce

Along with all the cutlery, drinks, all served from baine maries, as a buffet style, the cost of this is £4500.00.

We can help feed 400 people, on Friday 20th March 2026, with your help.

We do what we do, and have done for 17years, with the help and support of you all.

You can support by donating into our account:

We can't do what we're able to do, without the support of you all.

On behalf of all those we assist, we thank you all.

Hunger is continuing to grip communities, according to a foodbank charity as it revealed that almost 300,000 emergency parcels were given to people facing hunger and hardship across the North West in 2025.

Trussell says it provided the equivalent of 820 food parcels a day in the region - the equivalent of one every two minutes.

The number of emergency food parcels provided in the North West last year is 22% higher than before the pandemic and cost of living crisis, it added.

Helen Barnard, director of policy and research at Trussell, said: “Today’s figures show that too many people across the North West are still being pushed to the brink.

"Too many people are being forced to skip meals so their children can eat, or survive on cups of tea because they don’t have any food left in the cupboards.

"The pandemic and cost of living crisis have left deep scars. Severe hardship still weighs heavily on daily lives, leaving people feeling overlooked and left behind."

𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧-𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗤𝗨𝗘
𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝟮𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

On the evening of 24 February 2026, at approximately 8:30pm, a serious security incident occurred at Manchester Central Mosque (Victoria Park) during Taraweeh prayers in the blessed month of Ramadan.

A white male entered the Mosque wearing a hi-viz jacket carrying a large bag. He was accompanied by a black male, both entering the Mosque at the same time. The Mosque volunteers spotted the suspicious bag containing an axe, which was placed into the main hall of the Mosque by the assailant. The white male was escorted to a separate room by volunteers and was found to have been carrying multiple weapons including a hammer and a knife. He was eventually arrested by the Police.

The black male left the mosque shortly before police arrived, after it became apparent that the situation had been contained. To our knowledge, he has not yet been arrested by Greater Manchester Police.

All relevant information and CCTV footage has been passed onto the Police who are continuing their investigation. The Muslim community in the UK has experienced a notable rise in threats and hostility over recent years. The increase in Islamophobic incidents is a serious concern, and greater resources are urgently needed to address this growing and real risk.

We will continue to cooperate fully with the police and urge all mosque attendees to remain vigilant. Congregants are advised to travel in groups where possible and to ensure that children are not left unattended.

The swift and responsible actions of our volunteers played a crucial role in containing the situation. Without their intervention, the consequences could have been far more serious.

Frightening news — we have just been made aware of an incident this evening.

A man was arrested at Victoria Park Mosque in Rusholme after reportedly entering the mosque wearing a high-visibility jacket and allegedly carrying knives, with another report suggesting he may also have had an axe.

Thankfully, he was stopped before any harm was done. Police were called, and the man was arrested.

In the current climate of fear and hate, please be extra careful when you are out and when attending prayers. If you notice anything or anyone suspicious, report it immediately to the police.

Please remain vigilant and look out for one another. Support and protect everyone in our communities — do not allow hate to divide us or fear to confuse us.

We are better than this.

These are very troubling and uncertain times.
