Zakat is a mandatory duty on all able Muslims who meet nisab values. There is no ambiguity as to the rate at which Zakat should be calculated; 2.5% of all net savings one possesses that is above the nisab value. Net savings is total maintained wealth for one lunar year before Zakat is due.
Zakat al-Fitr is a form of charity given to the poor at the end of Ramadan.
Zakat al-Fitr is £7
Zakat al-Fitr is due on every member of a household, including any children or elderly persons and is obligatory to pay before the day of Eid.
The amount of Zakat al-Fitr is the value of one meal which must be received by the person in need before the Eid prayer. As such, we recommend that you make a donation as early as possible in Ramadan.

Sadaqah
"When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for them." (hadith of the Prophet (pbuh), narrated by Muslim)
Ongoing Charity - Sadaqah Jariyah - is one of the most valuable acts we can do in this life, which continues benefiting us in the next, even after we have left the earth.
