Prince Harry surprised a UK charity with a generous contribution.
Harry, Duke of Sussex, contributed a considerable sum to charity Himmah, which would assist fund more than 650 food boxes for Nottingham's needy residents.
The foundation, which combats poverty, r**ism, and social isolation, has received a second contribution from Harry. The Sussexes initially gave £10,000 to the Salaam Shalom Kitchen four years ago. The kitchen offered meals and consumables for both Muslims and Jews.
Sajid Mohammed, director of Himmah, was shocked by the contribution and said, "I could not believe it when we got the email."
"To have been chosen by such a high-profile royal once is amazing, but to have been supported by Prince Harry too left us completely gobsmacked," he told reporters.
In his letter to Himmah, published by the charity, Harry wrote: "Nottingham holds a special place in my heart, having had the privilege of visiting and supporting the community there for over a decade."
"Himmah's amazing work to combat food insecurity, poverty, and social isolation ought to be acknowledged and appreciated. I'm pleased to be able to contribute in some little way to your aim of bringing communities together by providing opportunities and help to those in need," he said.
In his statement, Mohammed also underlined the charity's goal, adding, "The number of individuals in need in Nottingham increased during Covid and has only gotten worse as more people suffer from the cost-of-living problem and others lose their jobs owing to the cost-of-business crisis.
"Many of our service users are working people who are struggling to make ends meet and unable to afford the basics, like fresh produce, toilet roll or toothpaste," he told me.
"Government grant and bid opportunities have declined and competition for the funds is fierce, meaning we're increasingly dependent on community giving and so grateful for every penny our supporters provide," according to him.
"Himmah's work is not just about providing food - it's about restoring dignity, hope and stability to people's lives," he told the audience.
