Every month, the Trust receives more than 40 applications for financial support, of which only half of eligible applications can be supported with a grant or interest-free loan of up to £500. Although the Trust prioritises applications which provide long-term benefit, rising poverty and unemployment has forced the charity to consider funding more and more applications for basic household and subsistence costs.[7] Future: 2013-presentOver the next 3 years, the Trust has prioritised two areas of need: food poverty and the rehabilitation of prisoners and ex-offenders. To this end, Al-Mizan Charitable Trust is developing food banks and subsidised kitchens. They aim for these food banks and kitchens to be "localised, sustainable and grassroots driven." They are also and launching new funding streams aimed at improving the opportunities of ex-offenders through skills development, training and access to employment.[5] ActivitiesThe main activity of Al-Mizan Charitable Trust is to distribute grants of up to £500 to people in crisis.[9] The grants they distribute to poor families are used to buy items like mattresses and school uniforms.[8] They also distribute food to poor families struggling to afford the cost of food, distributing approximately 1,000 food packets during the month of Ramadan in 2015.[4] Al-Mizan Charitable Trust is the parent organization of Sufra, a food bank in London. During its first six months in operation, Sufra handed out food to 20-40 families each week, feeding approximately 3,000 people.[9] AimsAl-Mizan Charitable Trust has prioritised five aims of its organisation.[10]
