About us

Every pound, as you intend it

Boota Foundation is a UK registered charity helping people facing hardship in the UK, and refugees, widows and orphans affected by war and disaster around the world.

Who we are

Boota Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales on 26 May 2022 (charity no. 1199104).

Most of our help is given as grants directly to the people who need it, alongside goods and services provided with trusted partners and volunteers on the ground. Many appeals are for one family or one person: a widow clearing a debt, a mother caring for disabled children, a child who needs urgent surgery. Others support whole communities: feeding people through Ramadan and Eid, providing Qurbani, clean water and school places for orphans.
