Alvina Ali brings care wherever she goes—whether behind a microphone or at a doorstep. She is the founder of Secret Angels CIC, a Wolverhampton-based grassroots organisation supporting individuals and families facing poverty, digital exclusion, and social isolation. What began as a small act of kindness has grown into a trusted hub that offers not just emergency relief, but long-term community resilience.
At Secret Angels CIC, Alvina Ali has shaped a wraparound model of support—distributing food, coordinating digital inclusion workshops, and hosting gatherings like Java Joy, where people facing loneliness and hardship come together over coffee, tea, games, and conversation. But her work doesn’t stop with crisis response. Through mentoring, training, and advocacy, Alvina Ali is helping people build skills, confidence, and connection that last far beyond a single encounter.
Outside of Secret Angels, Alvina Ali is a civil servant dedicated to reducing energy poverty—ensuring residents can stay warm, well, and informed, especially during the hardest months of the year. Her passion for sustainability and empowerment informs every part of her work, whether she’s offering frontline guidance or advocating for smarter systems.
And then there’s DJ Aashiqui.
On air, award-winning radio presenter Alvina Ali becomes the host, the voice, the spark. As a community radio presenter on both Ramadan Radio Wolves 87.8FM, which runs annually during the holy month of Ramadan, and Radio XL 1296AM, she brings energy and insight to a range of shows. During Ramadan, she presents two special shows that amplify local voices and celebrate community spirit, with her shows FYI and Loose Sisters. Outside of Ramadan, Alvina continues to engage listeners through community-focused content and her much-loved weekly Sunday late-night show, The Love Express, on Radio XL, where she curates romantic melodies and opens up real conversations about love, life, and everything in between. With music, humour, and heartfelt dialogue, Alvina Ali creates radio that makes people feel seen, heard, and connected.
Her roles may seem many—but they are rooted in one purpose: human dignity. For Alvina Ali, care is not a service. It’s a culture. A presence. A promise that no one in her community walks alone.
