Sakinah Line works collaboratively with Muslim Community Helpline in recognition of a shared commitment to supporting our respective service users within the Muslim community.

Both organisations are guided by values of compassion, dignity, and culturally-sensitive care. This collaborative working is based on mutual awareness and a shared commitment to the wellbeing of those who access our services.

Each organisation operates with its own governance, safeguarding arrangements, data protection responsibilities, and service delivery models. Neither organisation manages, oversees, nor is responsible for the services provided by the other.

Effective from: 1 February 2026
