“Walk With Muthukad; Change lives thru BMCF” Fundraising Appeal by Shaji Lukose

Hi Friends, I am Shaj Lukose live with my family in Belfast, Northern Ireland from early 2000 s and one of the current trustees, ex Chairman & Ex Treasurer of BMCF. Now, myself is approaching each one of you with a humble request to support our continuous endeavour to wipe out the tears of many, who are not fortunate enough like us to lead and enjoy their normal lives due to life threatening diseases, born with learning/physical disabilities and short stature etc. In some cases, we have received applications from families for support due to the untimely and sudden demise of breadwinners and dear & near ones in their family. Now, I have joined to participate in another initiative of our charity Foundation known as " Walk with Muthukad; Change lives thru BMCF" to support the proposed institute for differently abled children at the northern district of Kasaragodu, Kerala, India. This charity walk is scheduled to be held at Beacon Hill Country Park, Leicester, LE12 8SP, England, UK. As a matter of fact, our requests and appeals during the last 13 years were not vain as you have given us a tremendous support as we have been able to give more than £ 1.5 million ( approx over Rs 16 crores) so far. Unlike others, BMCF is a registered charity with Charity Commission, England and we give 125% of donations to the beneficiaries directly into their hands without incurring a single pence to the charity as expenses. We reclaim 25% of gift from the HMRC towards the eligible donations and this incentive is available only to the regd charities like us. 15 trustees and over 20 advisory committee members works voluntarily finding out extra time from their day-to-day life. Walk With Muthukad; Change lives thru BMCF " & BMCF '/M Cube Magic Moments'" On Sunday 19th October 2025, the suburbs of Leicestershire will come alive with the power of unity, compassion and magic as Gopinath Muthukad – world-renowned magician turned humanitarian – leads a heartwarming initiative to transform the lives of children with disabilities. Through “Walk with Muthukad – Change Lives thru BMCF” & "BMCF M'Cube Magic Moments"we aim to raise crucial funds for the International Institute for Children with Disabilities at Kasaragod, Kerala, India – a world-class centre offering care, education and empowerment to differently-abled children. The participants get an ample opportunity to walk and chat with a reputed and well known magician Mr. Gopinath Muthukad at 11 AM at Beacon Hill Park, Leicester along with the great participation to raise funds for a noble cause The walk trails through the park will be for around an hour. To mark this event as a very special occasion, British Malayali Charity Foundation has also decided to honour one of the local community charities in UK, as always has been doing, in their outstanding services being rendered to the needy people in the society. As such, British Malayali Charity Foundation will be giving an amount of £ 1,000.00 to Open Hands Leicester, one of the leading community charities from Leicester as a token of solidarity and gratitude in their relentless efforts in supporting many deserving people in and around Leicestershire.
