Impact Report: A journey of faith-driven impact and strategic change

We help Muslim-led ventures move from survival to strength. By combining patient funding with strategic support, FIG transforms good initiatives into great organisations serving their communities with excellence.

Our ventures span mental health, education, media, and youth development. We build strong systems, scale reach, and nurture leaders through our different programmes. Together, they’re shaping a stronger future: improving public understanding of Islam, raising socioeconomic wellbeing, and deepening spiritual resilience across Britain.

Impact Story – Muslim Youth Helpline

Since joining FIG in 2021, Muslim Youth Helpline (MYH) has transformed from a stretched service into a national lifeline for young Muslims.

With FIG’s strategic support and patient funding, MYH has built a volunteer-led model, strengthened its board, and introduced new systems that doubled its reach while halving missed calls.

The Results

Today, over 45,000 young Muslims have received faith-sensitive, confidential support through MYH, including hundreds in critical crisis situations. Behind the numbers are powerful stories of hope:
  • Over 45,000 young Muslims supported since 2021
  • Missed calls cut by half, with lives saved through critical crisis support each year.

“Sometimes it feels like I have a cloud of darkness. I feel like I can breathe again. Thank you.” – MYH Service User

MYH is now a resilient, forward-looking institution—proof that fragile services can flourish with the right support.
