The homeless in Leicester will benefit from care packages put together by local Ismaili Muslim volunteers.Volunteers spent Saturday packing donations for Action Homeless at the Ismaili Muslim Community Centre in Hamilton.

The work is part of the Share a Smile initiative which sees Ismaili Muslims volunteering their time during religious month of Ramadan.Amin Mawji, president of the Ismaili National Council, said: “We wanted to use our generosity to help people among whom we live. It’s been a very uplifting day. I’m hoping the initiative will continue to grow each year.”After packing the boxes, the volunteers delivered the donations to Action Homeless’ largest accommodation project, Mayfield House .
