Khizra Foundation was formed in 2010 as an initiative to tackle the lack of representation of the Muslim community in the heritage sector. We aim to support and empower the many generations of Muslims living in the UK to, build heritage-based roots and create channels of communication, expression of their identity and celebration of their contribution to society. The Charities Commission’s Small Charity Constitution governs the group’s day-to-day activities.
