Empower and Evolve

We were able to help fundraise for the installation of a wash basin at Peterborough Asylum and Refugee Association Community (PARCA)

We heard that the local hospice was running low on PPE supplies in March 2020 so we dropped off some gloves, masks and oral hygiene kits. 

We were able to provide 50 families with essential food supplies for the month of Ramadan. 

Along with donations from Peterborough City Councillors Shazia Bashir and Mohammed Nadeem, we were able to install a defibrillator machine at Ghousia Masjid, Peterborough. 

We worked with Ishfaq Hussain and Mirage wedding caterers to supply weekly hot meals during the first national lockdown. .

We worked with PARCA to run a fundraising campaign to gift 45 children with Eid presents. .

Under the supervision of Dr Israr Razaq, Empower and Evolve have set up a dental surgery within Bangrilla Community Hospital. The surgery provided routine and emergency care and it fully equipped to meet the highest hygiene standards as well as ensuring excellent patient care and safety. Dr Razaq is passionate about carrying out annual dental camps where he is able to treat complex adults and children. 

A successful women’s health unit has been set up. This enables women to meet with a gynaecologist and discuss their health. Ante-natal and post-natal care is also provided along with a delivery room. Due to the huge demand in this service, Empower and Evolve are working to provide additional facilities including a fully functioning operating theatre and more labour facilities. 

In response to the catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, Empower and Evolve pledged to help with food parcels. Working with Al-Khidmet, a nok governmental agency enabled aid to be given to displaced families.  

Empower and Evolve created essential delivery kits for expectant mothers to have access to sterile materials at the time of delivery. After hearing about the challenges displaced pregnant women were experiencing, we were compelled to help. The delivery kits contained essentials such as medications, sanitary pads, sterile blades, medications, clean towels and blankets as well as baby clothes.
