"The great accomplishments of MGR are due to many individuals that have a tremendous impact on our charity. I would like to thank our wonderful group of supporters and donors whose generosity makes our life-saving and life-transforming work possible, without whom, it would not be possible to help and support vulnerable people around the world."£

MGR’s community and fund-raising manager Abdul Shakoor presented the cheque to the hospice.

A hospice spokesman said: "Thank you to Muslim Global Relief for its generous donation of £300. Its support of Pendleside Hospice is greatly appreciated. Pendleside Hospice costs more than £4m. to run each year, of which the hospice gets 22% of its funding from the NHS.

"This means that the hospice needs to raise more than £3m. from charitable donations."
