Connecting Hands was established in 2018, in response to a number of struggling charities, initiatives and causes it came across. We decided to create an organisation that encourages volunteers and leverages skills, to deliver valuable benefit and strategic support to those causes. We consist of visionaries, strategists, project managers and professionals.

Umar has given his time to strategic charitable initiatives for 20 years. In a recent project he voluntarily led the raising of nearly £1 million and managed the establishment of an organisation in a deprived area of South London, which now serves and benefits over 500 visits per week.
"Through sincere altruistic intentions and strategic thinking, we can assist people and develop institutions, which could benefit mankind for decades and centuries to come".
