We all know that there’s nothing better than a good old hearty breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning. It’s the most important meal of the day and when the weekend comes, a time for the family to get together.

So, why not add a little twist to your family breakfast or brunch? At HHUGS, we’re launching our breakfast campaign #BreakfastForHHUGS and we need your help! It’s easy, all you have to do is gather your friends and family and invite them over for a big breakfast to raise money for our HHUGS families. Charge an entry fee,leave moneyboxes around for donations, it’s totally up to you!

When?

Our campaign will be ongoing, so you’re free to host a breakfast at any time that’s convenient. We will be hosting a HHUGS breakfast in London on the 28th April 2017. If you would like to attend, book online.

Where?

Anywhere you want! You can host one in your home, office, community centre, ISOC, mosque, local circle or even in the park. The world is your oyster.

What?

In theory, the more appetising your breakfast is, the more people will be inclined to attend. Whether you choose to go Desi, Middle Eastern or stick with a nice fry up, your spread needs to be tasty!

How much?

Every penny counts and that’s why we’re leaving the fundraising target entirely in your court. No matter how big or small, every donation makes a huge difference. We don’t ask you to raise any set amount, it’s entirely up to you, so don’t worry if you don’t reach your personal target – everyone who strives in the way of Allah (swt) will be rewarded.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “If any Muslim feeds a Muslim when he is hungry, Allah will feed him with some of the fruits of Paradise;” [Abu Dawud]
