Nuffield Health, Bolton raises funds for Homeless Aid UK

The latest annual Eid Party was held at Nuffield Health on Eagley Brook Way in Astley Bridge on Friday April 24 with food, cakes, desserts and much more all on sale.

But as well putting on a celebration the event also helped raise funds fore some of the most vulnerable people in society, as Homeless Aid UK CIC co-founder Billa Ahmed explained.

He said: “We’re here at Nuffield Health, they’ve just hosted an Eid party and all the profits they make will go to Homeless Aid and those in need.”

Billa was a guest at the event alongside Homeless Aid CIC volunteer Lynne Fitzgerald.

She said: “And the community have come together to make the cakes and provide all the food, so it really has brought everyone together.”

The event, the latest of several put on each year at the venue, took place between 9am and 1pm with attendees from across the community.

It was organised by Nuffield Health creche assistant Sabiha Dakri, who has done similar works with Eid parties over previous years.

She thanked the “wonderful Bolton businesses who have helped us raise funds for homeless aid this year including reels fish and chips who have donated an amazing £100”.

Their support helped make the Eid party a reality along with support from Nuffield creche manager Reyna Miasnikova and volunteer Naz Vander.

Thanks to their efforts as well as a fun filled day for attendees at the Eid party, they have also helped to support the vital work of Homeless Aid UK.

The group works at grassroots level to help support homeless people in Bolton, Manchester, Liverpool, Wigan, Leigh, Glasgow and elsewhere across the UK and globally.

They also supply food hampers and clothing to people living in poverty.

The volunteers at Homeless Aid UK rely solely on donations and the support of the local community to keep doing what they do.

This makes the fundraising efforts of volunteers and special events like the Nuffield Health aid party even more vital.
