We were honoured to welcome Arif to our assembly, where he spoke passionately about the homeless charity he founded and the difference it is making in people’s lives. He shared heartfelt stories of the amazing work carried out over the years and reminded our pupils that small acts of kindness can lead to big change.
He shared how his charity raises funds to book hotel rooms so people experiencing homelessness can get off the streets and into safety. Arif described how he has personally donated warm clothing from his car boot, ensuring people have coats, hats and other essentials during cold spells.
Over time, the charity has helped thousands of people learn new skills so they can secure jobs and rebuild their independence.
Arif outlined simple, practical ways we can support: donating good‑quality clothing, organising fundraisers and spreading the word so more people know how to get involved.

Thank you to Arif for inspiring our school community and for demonstrating the power of compassion in action.
