The Baraka Khan Foundation on Coffee Morning
Bring Baraka to your Coffee Morning
The Baraka Khan Foundation was created in 2016 in loving memory of Baraka, who died of lung cancer at the age of 24.
On the day of her diagnosis, Baraka was supported by a Macmillan nurse who was on hand for emotional support. She also accessed our specialist information and support during her treatment.
Baraka was passionate about many causes close to her heart, including Macmillan, and raised nearly £750,000 in her lifetime.
Her friends and family continue this incredible legacy, supporting Macmillan in multiple ways, including encouraging the hosting of large Coffee Morning events in over 35 mosques in the UK.
Baraka means 'blessings' in Arabic, and they therefore named their Coffee Morning events, 'Bring Baraka to your Coffee Morning', in her honour.
"Hosting a Coffee Morning at our mosques is an opportunity to get everyone together from the local community; we remember Baraka and all those affected by cancer, and raise vital funds for Macmillan. It's a way to turn grief into a positive force for good.”
