About the Trust

Who we are, where we came from, and the values that guide our work.

Our Story

The Abdur Rahman Memorial Trust was founded in memory of Abdur Rahman, a man known throughout his community for quiet, unconditional generosity. He was not wealthy, but no one who came to his door in need ever left empty-handed.

After his passing, his family and friends established the Trust to continue that legacy in a lasting, organised way. Since 2018 the Trust has worked with great distinction for disadvantaged people in Golapganj, Sylhet — supported by volunteers and regular donors in the UK.

Our Mission

To relieve poverty and hardship — locally and internationally — through practical, dignified assistance: food for the hungry, clean water for the thirsty, education for orphaned children, and warmth for those facing winter alone.

Our Values

  • Dignity first. We help quietly and respectfully. No one who receives our help is ever made to feel less for it.
  • Complete transparency. We publish where every pound goes. Administration costs are covered by our general fund so that 100% of appeal donations reach those in need.
  • Open to all. We serve people of every faith and background, and we welcome volunteers and donors from every part of the community.
  • Practical impact. We fund things that work: wells, food parcels, school fees, blankets. Real help, delivered directly.

Governance

The Trust is a voluntary charitable organisation governed by a board of directors who serve entirely as volunteers. Meet the people behind the Trust on our Directors page.
