Having grown up in Lahore, not long after their wedding, Faaiz and his wife Amina moved to London in 1997 just at the end of the Thatcherite/Major era to make a fresh life for themselves in the United Kingdom and brought up their children in the UK as well.

Since the early 2000’s, they are also both active participants in campaigning, having grown up in a socially and politically active family.
