Apostolic Faith Mission (UK) International Walsall Assembly
Charity 1162228
Overview
Summary
Apostolic Faith Mission (UK) International Walsall Assembly appears to be a faith-centred local organisation whose civic role is framed through worship, prayer and the moral aims of community cohesion, peace and charitable uplift. Its stated model is not primarily service-specific: instead, it presents Christian religious practice as the foundation from which wider community benefit is expected to arise. This suggests a potentially relational role in local civic life, though the available evidence does not show how that role operates beyond the congregation.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission register records that the charity operates in Birmingham City, but provides no Birmingham address, venue, project, service location, ward or recognised place. It is therefore not possible to evidence operation in any of the supplied Birmingham areas.
- The registered contact address is in Walsall and should not be treated as evidence of a Birmingham operational site.
- No official website was available in the supplied record, and the accessible Charity Commission information identifies no delivery partners or arrangements that would show how the charity's reach extends within Birmingham.
- The reported geography supports a reasonable interpretation that the charity has a wider West Midlands footprint across Birmingham, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton; however, the scale, frequency and nature of activity in each area are not disclosed.
Additional evidence needed
- A current timetable or venue list for worship, prayer, charitable work and community activities, identifying Birmingham locations.
- The latest trustees' annual report or operational report containing activity locations, attendance or beneficiary geography.
- Confirmation from the charity of any Birmingham-based premises, regular hired venues, outreach locations or delivery partners.
- Evidence from named partner organisations or venues confirming current activity in specific Birmingham wards or places.

Observations
Faith practice is presented as the organisation's route to community benefit
The organisation appears to treat weekly worship and prayer not only as religious activities, but as its core mechanism for building community, encouraging peace and supporting charitable uplift.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish it from charities that deliver defined practical services: its contribution may depend heavily on relationships, shared beliefs and regular participation.

The organisation has broad civic ambitions but an unspecified delivery model
It appears to claim a role in uplifting the wider community, yet the evidence does not identify particular services, programmes, target groups or forms of charitable support.
Why it matters
This creates an important question about whether its community impact is mainly informal and congregation-led, or whether unrecorded activities reach people beyond worship attendees.

Its beneficiary definition may signal an outward-facing mandate
By identifying the general public as beneficiaries, the organisation may understand its mission as extending beyond a closed membership community, despite its explicitly Christian basis.
Why it matters
This is relevant when considering possible local relationships: the assembly may be a potential contributor to wider cohesion efforts if its public-facing activity is active in practice.
