At heart, SKT Welfare is a group of compassionate, honest and hard-working humanitarians. We believe that everyone - no matter their race, religion or gender - deserves a chance at a happy, fulfilling life. Over the past decade, we have provided urgent aid and sustainable relief to millions of disadvantaged people across the globe. Our projects focus on emergency relief, food, water, healthcare, education, orphan care and seasonal aid, such as winter emergency response and Qurbani donations. We serve some of the most vulnerable people in the world; those affected - through no fault of their own - by conflict, poverty and natural disasters. Our vision is for a world in which everyone is cared for, thrives, and is free from extreme poverty. As an Islamic charity, we are led by an unshakeable faith and a strong desire to help the most vulnerable, following in the footsteps of the Prophet (saw).

Wakefield Community Fridge is a volunteer-led community organisation helping people across Wakefield access food, practical support and routes into wider services, while reducing food waste by redistributing good-quality surplus food. We operate twice-weekly Community Fridge sessions from our base at Jamia Masjid Swafia in Wakefield. Our service provides a welcoming and dignified way for local people experiencing financial pressure or food insecurity to access essential food alongside surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste. Since opening in December 2025, demand has grown rapidly. We now support hundreds of visits each month and redistribute thousands of food items through supermarket collections, donations from local businesses and food purchased using grants and community funding. Our work is increasingly about more than food. We use the Community Fridge as an accessible point of contact where people can connect with specialist support. We are developing support pathways with Citizens Advice, Turning Point and Cash Wise, helping people access advice and support around finances, benefits, debt, housing, substance use and other issues affecting household stability. We are supported by a committed team of volunteers and work closely with supermarkets, food businesses, community organisations and local employers. We also welcome businesses that would like to support us through corporate volunteering, food donations or other practical assistance. The support we need most is regular donations of surplus food, including fresh produce, bakery items, ambient groceries and short-dated stock; partnerships with food manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, supermarkets, bakeries and other businesses with usable surplus; volunteers to support collections, sorting, stocking and our twice-weekly sessions; corporate volunteering and practical support from local employers; and funding or in-kind support to help us meet growing demand and strengthen the Community Fridge for the longer term. Our aim is simple: reduce food waste, make good food available to people who need it, and use that first point of contact to help people access wider support where needed.
