Once just a humble volunteer with a big heart, Nadeem Malik has now become the face of a fundraising movement that’s quite literally taken the cake.

It all started in the summer of 2016. Nadeem, then a fresh-faced volunteer, joined the Muskorteers, a charitable team powered by UK-based humanitarian organisation KORT (Kashmir Orphan Relief Trust).

What began as a personal pledge to do good quickly spiralled into something far bigger: a journey of leadership, camaraderie, and staggering success.

Fast forward nearly a decade and the numbers speak for themselves.

Under Nadeem’s steady hand, this once-small collective of do-gooders has ballooned into a 100-strong army of everyday heroes – business owners, sports coaches, taxi drivers, techies – all rolling up their sleeves to help those in need.

Back in 2016, the team sold a respectable 5,200 cakes to raise funds. But now? They’re dishing out a jaw-dropping 25,000 annually. That’s right – KORT has earned the cheeky nickname King of Cakes, and it’s no exaggeration. The sweet treat has become a fundraising icon, and Nadeem is the man behind the movement.

Appointed Chief Muskorteer in September 2021, Nadeem’s leadership has turbocharged the group’s efforts, not just in cake sales, but across all major fundraising campaigns.

From Ramadan drives to on-the-ground events, this compassionate cohort has proven time and again that charity is alive and kicking in Britain.

Speaking about his rise, Nadeem said: “Me becoming a Muskorteer was driven by KORT’s powerful vision to bring real change to those in need.

What truly inspired me was witnessing the genuine passion and tireless commitment of everyone involved… it wasn’t just charity; it was a united mission to uplift lives and show that every person matters.”

From handing out essentials to organising eye-watering fundraising totals, Nadeem and his Muskorteers are redefining grassroots charity work, putting people before politics and proving that when communities unite, extraordinary things happen.
