An independent directory, not a fundraiser

Muslim.co.uk helps you find established, registered charities working across causes that matter — then sends you directly to their own website to give. We want to be completely clear about how this works.

What this site does

We curate and organise information about registered UK charities by cause, so you can find a trustworthy organisation working on something you care about — quickly, and without needing to search multiple charity websites yourself.

What this site does not do

  • We do not collect, process or hold any donations
  • We are not a registered charity ourselves
  • We do not charge donors or charities any fee
  • We do not add any "tip" or platform fee to your gift

How charities are verified

Every charity listed is checked against the Charity Commission for England and Wales public register, and displays its official registration number. We periodically re-check registrations to confirm they remain active and in good standing.

Before you donate

When you click "Donate," you'll be taken to the charity's own website. Always check that you're on the charity's official domain (shown in your browser's address bar) before entering any payment details. If anything looks unusual, leave the page and visit the charity's site directly.

Privacy

This site uses minimal cookies for basic analytics, to help us understand which causes and charities people find most useful. We do not collect personal information, and never share data with the charities listed unless you choose to click through to their site.
