PROJECTS IN the united kingdom

Army Benevolent Fund

The foundation has raised more than £100,000 for the Army Benevolent Fund, supporting the charity’s work with soldiers, veterans and their families.

This support is ongoing and reflects the foundation’s commitment to standing alongside organisations that help people through hardship, service, transition and long-term need.

By supporting the Army Benevolent Fund, the foundation helps contribute to wider work that supports members of the Army community across the UK.

Age Concern Leicester Shire & Rutland

Since the Covid period, the foundation has provided £1,000 in monthly support to Age Concern Leicester Shire & Rutland.

This ongoing support helps the organisation continue its work with older people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

The foundation recognises the importance of supporting older people, particularly those who may be facing isolation, hardship, health challenges or reduced access to regular community support.

Schools and community food support

The foundation supports three local schools by helping provide meals for children and families in the community.

This work reflects the foundation’s wider commitment to practical help, especially where food support can reduce pressure on families and make a direct difference to everyday life.

During the Covid period, Abdul and the Spice Bazzar team also supplied food to hospital staff, churches and mosques, helping support frontline workers and local communities during a difficult and uncertain time.

Supporting grassroots and East Midlands sport

The foundation supports sport across Leicester and the East Midlands, including Leicester Tigers, Leicestershire County Cricket Club, Leicester Riders, Aylestone Athletic and Carisbrooke Tennis Club. This has included sponsorship, practical support, hot food for fundraising events, and support for causes linked to local clubs, including the Leicester Tigers Sleeping Rough fundraiser and the Taylor Gough appeal. Through this work, the foundation helps clubs and sports organisations bring people together, support their own fundraising, and create positive opportunities within the community.

Further UK community Support

Alongside its ongoing work with named organisations, Abdul Giash Spice Bazzar Foundation also supports wider community projects across Leicester, Leicestershire and beyond.

This includes practical support linked to local charities, grassroots sport, health, illness, mental health, collaboration and community wellbeing. More details on these projects will be added as the foundation continues to document its work.

Supporting communities

The foundation’s UK work is built around long-term relationships, community trust and practical support. From national charities to local schools and community groups, the aim is to help people in ways that are useful, respectful and meaningful.

As the foundation continues to grow, its UK work will remain focused on supporting people, strengthening communities and improving lives.
