Winter Emergency Appeal

When Winter Bites, Bring Warmth.

As the cold season approaches, millions around the world face a harsh and life-threatening winter. For families already struggling in poverty, the freezing temperatures bring unimaginable hardship. A simple blanket, warm clothing or food to last the night could mean the difference between survival and despair.

Through our charity winter appeal, you can help bring warmth and hope to those most in need.

Together, We Can Bring Warmth and Hope

From flood-hit regions to war-torn communities, from refugee camps to families struggling in poverty, your kindness and generosity can make a real difference. Through our Penny Appeal winter campaign, we are working to provide emergency food parcels, warm blankets and safe shelter to those who need it most. 

It's impossible to stay safe at home when you have no home. With your support we can bring comfort, dignity and warmth to vulnerable families this winter. 

Join the Penny Appeal winter charity campaign today and help keep those in need warm, safe and cared for this winter.

    Orphan Sponsorships

  • This is the impact of your generosity. Together, we have provided food, water and vital support to those who need it most. Every donation, whether Sadaqah or Zakat, helps alleviate suffering and restore hope to communities facing unimaginable hardship.

    We always aim to use your donation as intended. When you give to ‘where most needed’, your donation supports the world’s most vulnerable communities, based on expert guidance and our local partner insights. However you give, you can rest assured your donation is in the best hands!

    How does my winter donation help right now?

    Your donation turns compassion into warm blankets, food, fuel, winter clothing and safe shelter. Every pound becomes protection from the cold, comfort for frightened children, and mercy delivered at the most crucial moment.

    Why is winter so dangerous for vulnerable families?

    In many crisis-hit areas, winter means freezing nights, weak shelters, empty kitchens and children sleeping without blankets. For those already in hardship, the cold can become life-threatening, and your kindness can be the warmth Allah () places in their lives.

    Who receives Penny Appeal’s Winter Emergency support?

    Your generosity reaches those most at risk- orphaned children, widows, the elderly, and displaced families going through unimaginable hardships. You’re helping the people the Prophet () taught us to care for most.

    How quickly will my donation reach someone in need?

    Fast. Alhamdulillah, our dedicated partners and teams are already on the ground across multiple countries. Your support becomes lifesaving warmth within days, not weeks.

    Can I donate as Sadaqah, Sadaqah Jariyah, or on behalf of someone?

    Yes and it’s a beautiful act to honour someone you love with such good deeds. Your winter donation can warm a home, save a life, and carry blessings for you or a loved one, long after the cold has passed.
