HHUGS Mental Health Campaign

British Pound

Helping Households Under Great Stress (HHUGS) is a UK registered charity that exists to provide financial, emotional, and practical support and advice to Muslim households impacted by national security legislations, policies and procedures, in the UK and abroad.



<h3>Supporting Families Beyond the Visible</h3> World Mental Health Day takes place on 10 October. This year, HHUGS is running a mini campaign highlighting the mental health support we provide to families affected by imprisonment, and the different ways we help ease the pressures they face. When a loved one is imprisoned, the whole family can be affected. Behind the financial hardship is another struggle that is often less visible: the impact on mental health and wellbeing. Families can be left facing isolation, uncertainty, financial pressure and the emotional weight of navigating life without someone they love. For some, it can feel like there is nowhere to turn and no one who truly understands. At HHUGS, support goes beyond financial assistance. Families can access sessions of therapy, helping beneficiaries receive professional support when they need it most. HHUGS also provides opportunities for families to connect through coffee mornings, workshops, Eid gatherings, trips and other social activities. Beneficiaries have told us that being around people who understand what they are going through helps them feel less alone and has a positive impact on their mental health. Practical support matters too. Help with supermarket vouchers, rent and utilities can ease some of the financial pressures that weigh heavily on a family's mental wellbeing. One beneficiary shared:<blockquote>“The work that you do makes me feel like I am still part of the Ummah... You make a considerable difference to my mental health, wellbeing and to my everyday life. HHUGS is always there to remind me that I am not alone, no matter how lonely I feel.”</blockquote> This is why mental health support cannot be overlooked.World Mental Health Day takes place on 10 October, but for families affected by imprisonment, the need for support doesn't last for just one day.Your fundraising can help HHUGS continue providing the practical, emotional and therapeutic support families need
