PARTNER WITH PURPOSE
Did you know that the earliest regular donors to Shaukat Khanum Hospitals were passionate business owners? In the 1990s, from his office at our first hospital in Lahore, our founder established incredible partnerships with local merchants. Inspired by his 1992 Cricket World Cup victory, they championed the upkeep of hospital facilities, the provision of cutting-edge equipment, and the funding of patient care.
Today, at Imran Khan Cancer Appeal, we’re thrilled to carry on their legacy by inviting local businesses across the UK to take up the mantle and join the fight against cancer.

PARTICIPATE YOUR WAY
It’s easy to get involved. We can tailor a partnership just for you, or you can explore popular options preferred by our existing partners below.
Paying Zakat on annual profits is an essential obligation, and we provide peace of mind by ensuring that your contributions are used effectively and in line with Islamic principles. This form of giving allows 75% of patients at Shaukat Khanum Hospitals to receive free cancer care throughout the year while subsidising the treatment of many others.
Additionally, investing grants, gifts, shares, and other business assets as Sadaqah Jariyah is a deeply rewarding way to extend the impact of your charity in a country like Pakistan, which lacks a national health service. This type of giving can provide vital medical equipment, dedicated hospital wards, operating theatres, chemo bays, intensive care units, and even the bricks needed to construct new buildings, ensuring patients benefit from your generosity for years to come.
You can also contribute through Matched Giving. By encouraging your staff to donate and matching their contributions, you can effectively double your business’s impact and our collective ability to make a real difference in the lives of cancer patients.
Maximise your impact today.

SCHEDULE A MEETINGPayroll Giving is a tax-efficient way for your business to regularly support meaningful causes like ours. It allows for generous donations without additional expenses, as contributions are deducted from participating staff salaries before tax, making a £1 donation equivalent to 80p.
We are registered with Payroll Giving platforms like CAF, GAYE, Benevity, and Blackbaud, which simplify both setup and management of the scheme.
Participating in Payroll Giving can also help your business earn recognition through the ‘Payroll Giving Quality Mark.’ A great way to encourage your staff to sign up for Payroll Giving is to match their donations – potentially earning your business the prestigious ‘Diamond Quality’ premium seal.

PARTNER PROFILE: SIMKO TRADING LTD
Meet Arshad Javed Ali, Managing Director of a well-established property and real estate business, and our Business Supporter of the Year award winner.
1. How do you measure success?
“Success, to me, is not just about business and professional achievement but also about the responsibility we carry to give back to society.
When we enjoy the fruits of success, it is essential to give thanks to Allah (SWT) and express our gratitude. One of the most profound and rewarding ways to do this is through charitable giving. After all, a man’s true wealth lies in the good he does for others during his lifetime.”
2. What role does charity play in your business operations?
“As the Director of a property company based in East London, I have had the privilege of supporting Imran Khan Cancer Appeal almost from its inception, through my business and other charitable initiatives”.
3. Why did you choose to partner with us?
“Imran Khan is a figure I have always held in high regard, finding his journey and leadership truly inspiring. It is this deep respect for his ethos and dedication that motivated me to donate to the charity, trusting wholeheartedly in the team here and in Pakistan, that the contributions were being directed to those who cannot afford cancer treatment and are most in need”.
