During the COVID-19 pandemic, our health care workers put their health and lives at risk everyday to serve the communities around them. This remarkable service was appreciated by the nation. The Ismaili community recognised this service by offering multiple food deliveries to various hospitals around the UK.

Two notable deliveries included the making and delivery of 60 pizza’s to the Royal London Hospital in East London on 19th April 2020. Toppings included margherita, mushroom, BBQ chicken and even a vegan option! The donation, made by a non-Ismaili spouse, is part of a co-ordinated effort to continue feeding the doctors regularly until this crisis is over! He tells us ‘it’s the least he can do and is in keeping with the ethics of giving in Islam’


Earlier in the same week, Treats, the coffee and snacks retailer donated food items to St Mary’s Hospital in Central London. The donation was well received by staff who were grateful for the thoughtful supplies during the very difficult era.
