Saiqa is a highly experienced nurse with over 10 years of service in healthcare, bringing both professional expertise and personal commitment to her role at The Salik Project UK.

Mujtaba brings a deep personal connection to the mission of The Salik Project UK, shaped by his lived experience of supporting loved ones through addiction and coping with the loss of someone close to addiction. These experiences fuel his commitment to breaking down stigma and creating pathways to recovery within the community.

I have over eight years’ experience in frontline services, supporting people facing homelessness, addiction, mental health issues, domestic abuse, and criminal justice involvement. With 13 years in recovery myself, I bring both lived and professional experience, currently working as a Recovery Worker with High Level Northern Trust and serving as a Director and Safeguarding Officer for Angie’s Angels CIC.

Jamal Aziz is a passionate, dedicated, and independent individual committed to making a positive impact within the community.

Imrana Shakeel currently works at the Women’s Housing Aid Group in Rochdale as a Housekeeper and Maintenance Officer.

The Salik Project UK is a personal passion project for me after having lost my sister recently to addiction as well as a continuation of my late father's legacy of helping the most vulnerable in Rochdale and surrounding areas.

With over 15 years of personal experience helping family members battle addiction, I fully understand the dedication and resilience required to support someone through recovery. This blend of professional charity work and lived experience drives my passion to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals and families.
