Due to the current cost-of-living crisis, there are many people going through a difficult time at the moment. 

To bring joy during this challenging time, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) in collaboration with Marie Curie launched a unique campaign to deliver a FREE gift basket to anyone who is celebrating the festive period alone or going through a tough period.

AMYA Liverpool delivered 10 festive baskets under this campaign on 25 December 2022.

Inside the gift basket was a selection of items such as chocolates, festive eateries, scented candles, a winter scarf, toys, stationary and a card. The contents of the gift basket were tailored depending on whether it was requested for a child or an adult.

Everyone that received the gift basket was extremely grateful and many sent personal messages to AMYA via email and social media expressing their appreciation and emotions. 

The Youth Leader of AMYA said: 

“The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has said that every act of goodness is a charity. There is a real need to help those that are going through a difficult time so we decided to run a gift basket initiative this year in the hope that this will bring some joy to those who deserve it during this festive period. This has been a very challenging but equally rewarding experience and we hope that we can continue with similar initiatives in the future.”
