History

  1. Huddersfield Community First is a local charity which was officially launched in 2018 as a community organisation. The organisation was founded on a mission to make Huddersfield a place where everyone prospers. The organisation registered as a CIO in 2025.

    Serve. Empower. Uplift. This is our impact in three words.

    Serve: We begin by showing up for people where they are. Whether it’s a food parcel, a grant, or a warm meal, our frontline work ensures no one is left behind. Every act of service is delivered with dignity and purpose.

    Empower: We create space for people to take control of their lives through mentoring, training, advocacy and tailored support, we help individuals move from crisis to stability. Empowerment is about equipping people with the tools to thrive, not just survive.

    Uplift: As individuals grow, so does the community. Uplift is the long-term outcome: stronger families, confident youth, resilient futures.

    We serve to empower. We empower to uplift. We uplift to transform. Together, we’re not just responding to need, we’re building lasting change.

    The organisation was founded by Mohammed Abubakar. Mohammed is a dedicated community leader with a strong track record of impactful service, strategic leadership, and grassroots engagement. With over a decade of experience working at the intersection of faith, community development, and social justice, he has consistently championed initiatives that uplift the most vulnerable in society. This organisation was born from his belief that real change begins from the ground with service, but must go further. His leadership continues to guide the organisation’s mission to serve, empower and uplift.
