What UK apprenticeships actually pay
The national apprentice minimum wage is lower than the National Minimum Wage for the first year, then matches your age band. Many employers pay above the minimum — large banks, councils and tech firms often pay £18,000–£28,000 for higher and degree apprenticeships.
The full UK levels
Level 2 (intermediate, equivalent to 5 GCSEs). Level 3 (advanced, A-Level equivalent). Level 4–5 (higher, foundation degree). Level 6–7 (degree apprenticeship, BA/BSc/MSc-equivalent). Choose by where your school qualifications are and what you want to learn.

Create a free account, pick the category that fits your situation and write a short, honest post. You can stay anonymous in the public listing.
The platform connects you with helpers
Helpers and donors browsing your city or category will see the request and message you privately to offer support.
Talk it through safely
Agree the help in private messaging. Share only what you need to share — never share bank details publicly.
Close the case and follow up
When the help has landed, mark the case closed. Optional follow-up keeps the door open for further support if needed.
Trust and safety
Email verification gates the messaging system, and sensitive details are never shown on the public homepage. You can post anonymously, limit who can contact you, and decide what to share in messages.
Muslims Help Muslims is a connecting platform — we do not hold or distribute donations, and we don’t claim to vet every helper. Always keep bank details out of public posts, take your time when accepting offers, and read our Safety Tips before posting your first request.
