House of Sadaqa House of Sadaqa

At House of Sadaqa we acknowledge and seek to address current issues of social disadvantage due to family breakdown, domestic and family abuse, financial hardship, homelessness and isolation. We reach out to people where the gap between government welfare agencies, NGOs and other charity organisations don’t meet essential needs. With such critical and disastrous effects, we provide support for those who struggle to build on their potential capacity, achieve independence and regain fulfilment in their lives.

We are dedicated to strengthening local families by providing targeted support, resources, healthcare and education. Through our community-focused initiatives, we aim to help families regain fulfilment in their lives and thrive.
