We currently only have one session running at the:
Pakistani Community Centre, Bradford, Every Tuesday from 6 pm - 8 pm
Food serving starts from 6.30 pm.
The mobile kitchen originally launched in Bradford in December 2012. In April 2013 we launched in InTouch Keighley and in May 2014 we launched InTouch Leeds. We are now looking to work with local teams to expand our project into neighbouring cities. Since the project launched - across the cities we have distributed in excess of 200,000 meals.
The aim of the mobile kitchen is to provide hot food and drinks to people that are either living in poverty or are homeless. We provide cooked meals which normally consist of a chicken biryani along with raita and bread. We also provide hot drink drinks which include hot chocolate, tea, coffee along with biscuits, cake and fruit.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and have different backgrounds, faiths and races. InTouch Foundation is a platform to bring different communities together for one common cause - and that is to help people that are in need.

Due to crushing poverty, countless families in South Asian countries are unable to have their daughters and sisters get married. Unfortunately, due to societal pressures, it is not uncommon for people to resort to extreme measures such as committing suicide.
InTouch Foundation is launching a marriage project in Pakistan to support families in these difficult situations by providing basic items according to the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) necessary for newlywed girls, including some clothing, utensils, bedding and more, along with some financial assistance to offset marriage expenses.
InTouch Foundation will assist in covering the cost of the marriage, depending on the region and local requirements. The marriage maybe held individually or where there are a number of couples in a particular region group weddings may take place. Depending on the region, it costs approximately £300 for the wedding day and a further £200-£300 for the gifts to support the marriage of one young woman/man.
InTouch Foundation work with stakeholder's to create sustainable means of livelihoods programme and nutrition for vulnerable communities.
We will help families living in poverty establish an enterprise that will help them become financially independent. We will provide financial support to help the community of Kumasi, Ghana establish chicken and cow farms.
In 2016 InTouch Foundation in partnership with Ustadh Alyas karmani distributed over 2000 Eid food packs to poor families in Ghana. Eid meals distributed to 500 prisoners both muslims and non muslims in the local prison. Manhyia, Ghana.
Over 700 InTouch Foundation qurbani food packs distributed in Ghana to families in need in rural villages. Alhamdulillah the atmosphere and excitement is amazing The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Feed the hungry, visit the sick and set free the captives."
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Hadith 552
"(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.'"
The Holy Quran, 76:8-9

Project Ayaana was set up in the memory of our Late Granddad Dr Mohammad Suliman who passed away in October 2014. Dr Suliman was a true humanitarian working as a field doctor in rural pakistan for over 50 years. His compassion and love to the most vulnerable inspired us to carry his legacy on.
At Project Ayaana we believe that everyone wants to leave their mark on this world but not everyone knows how too. Everyone can leave their legacy by doing the smallest act of kindness and in the process of they can help change the world into a world we all want to live in. Our vision is to create a world where everyone respects and loves all.
Our core values are based on how our Dr Suliman lived his life and our Islamic Belief inspire us to keep working tirelessly to come up with unique innovative ways on how to engage the local communities to help those who are less fortunate – regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief locally and internationally.
We believe in empowering people to make a change.Our unique and integrated approach to inspiring the souls is transforming communities worldwide.
Zakat, meaning to purify, is the third pillar of Islam. It denotes the amount of wealth a Muslim is obligated to pay to particular categories of underprivileged people, if their annual wealth exceeds a specific amount.
Every sane, adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the value of nisab, must pay Zakat. Muslims very little or no income, who are new to Islam, in debt, stranded whilst travelling, working in the cause of Allah or in bondage, in addition to those who administer Zakat, are all entitled to receive Zakat.
At InTouch Foundation we take the responsibility of handling Zakat extremely seriously. We understand that paying Zakat is not simply an act of charity - it’s an act of worship. InTouch Foundation will ensure your donation will reach those most in need, both quickly and securely.
Many of our donors who support our work choose to donate to our general funds which allows us to use their donation wherever it’s needed most. Unrestricted income such as this allows us to respond most effectively to the needs of people we work with. If you prefer, you may also choose to support a project directly and we have a wide range of projects suitable for such a support. It is easy for you to choose to fund areas of our work that you feel most closely match your charitable aims.
InTouch Foundation will distribute your Zakaat in 3 locations. One of our Zakat projects is UK based whilst the other two are Oversea's projects. Our Total Zakaat Target is £70,000 (per year).
