UK Muslim Charity — From Brighton to the World
Deen Relief was established by founding trustee Shabek Ali in 2013. The charity's first activity was assisting the homeless community in Brighton & Hove with hot meals and essentials — work that continues to this very day.
From those grassroots beginnings on Brighton's streets, Deen Relief has grown into an international charity delivering aid across Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. Today we operate cancer care centres in Turkey, deliver emergency relief in Gaza, sponsor orphans in Bangladesh, and build schools and clean water systems for communities with nothing.
What hasn't changed is our approach: personal service to every donor and every beneficiary, full transparency about where donations go, and the commitment to ensuring assistance reaches the people it was intended for.
Support Our WorkIslamic Charity Programmes Across Five Countries
From cancer care centres in Turkey to classroom construction in Bangladesh — we focus on programmes that create lasting, measurable impact.
Medical Support
Funding cancer treatment, medical supplies, and family housing at our care centres in Adana, Turkey.
Education
Building schools and providing learning tools for children in rural Bangladesh who would otherwise have no access.

Rapid response to crises — distributing food, water, shelter, and medical aid to displaced families in Gaza and beyond.
Community Support
Weekly hot meals and essentials for homeless communities in Brighton, plus orphan sponsorship and clean water programmes.
Gulucuk Evi — The House of Smiles
In Adana, Turkey, we operate the Gulucuk Evi — a dedicated care centre for Syrian and Gazan refugee children undergoing cancer treatment. Many of these families have fled conflict with nothing, and face the impossible burden of funding their child's treatment in a foreign country.
Working in partnership with Adana City Hospital and Çukurova University Balcalı Hospital, we provide free family housing near treatment centres, cover medical costs, deliver culturally appropriate nutrition programmes, and offer Islamic counselling and emotional support throughout the treatment journey.
Our team visits every family personally. We sit with them, eat with them, and walk alongside them through every stage of their child's care. This is what Proof & Proximity means to us — we don't send aid from a distance. We are in the room.
