They say charity begins at home and so it was that the Homeless Project in Brighton was first conceived by local resident and Deen Relief founder, Shabek Ali, in the winter of 2010. Since then, Deen Relief has continued to regularly provide a lifeline of support for thousands of vulnerable people living rough on the streets of Brighton.

At Deen Relief, we often keep in touch with those who have benefitted from our work
and check back with them from time to time. It was with great sadness that we learnt
that Juber’s mother, Khaleka, passed away last year in Ramadan 2020. She had been
suffering from kidney problems.

Through our team of volunteers in Sylhet, Bangladesh, in March 2021, Deen Relief came to learn of 1 ½ year old Mujammel Hussein, a victim of a serious burns accident.
As is often the case in Bangladesh, in the poorest villages cooking is done using open-fire earthen hobs which sit at ground level. These are particularly dangerous for small children who are often prone to tripping or falling over next to these exposed fires.
