We’ve always been an extremely vibrant charity since day one. Sadaka was founded and registered with the Charity Commission in January 2017.

 

Back then, our three founding trustees had to face the hard grind of completing the paperwork related to setting up the charity and registering it as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) while roaming the streets of Reading to deliver food parcels and speak directly to those living on these streets. This has helped us drive Sadaka to what it is today.

 

Sadaka is now a community-focused charity providing a free, nutritious hot meal each week to individuals and families facing financial hardship or homelessness, as well as refugees. Alongside warm food, we offer essential items and practical support to help ease immediate pressure and restore dignity. Through compassion and consistency, Sadaka create a space where everyone is welcomed, supported, and reminded that they are not alone.

​

We also have our weekly Wellbeing café, which is a welcoming, creative space designed to support people experiencing homelessness, vulnerability, or financial hardship. Through relaxed art and craft activities, warm refreshments, and compassionate conversation, we offer a safe environment where individuals can feel valued, build confidence, and connect with others. More than just a place to spend time, the Wellbeing Café is a community built on dignity, creativity, and human connection.
