“We believe in the power of collective action and, through our campaign, we hope to harness the generosity and goodwill of our community and improve the quality of life for those who are facing adversity.
“This campaign is a testament to the compassion and generosity that defines the spirit of Ramadan, and we invite everyone to join us in making a meaningful impact.”
The charity hopes its latest campaign will create a platform for individuals and businesses to come together and contribute to a cause that “embodies the values of empathy and solidarity”.

The Kirkwood is appealing for people to donate the money they would normally spend on a coffee or sweet treat throughout Ramadan to support it in caring for patients with serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease and COPD.
The charity said it will endeavour to create a supportive environment where those in need can receive crucial assistance and experience a sense of belonging during Ramadan.
The charity has been caring for people with life-limiting illnesses since 1987. It provides free, specialist care to patients in Kirklees and their families. Services include in-patient care, community palliative care, a 24-hour advice line and more.
