Jalalabad Trust
Charity 1105603
Overview
Summary
Jalalabad Trust appears to be a locally rooted faith-based charity whose current operational focus is Islamic education for children, within a broader charitable mandate spanning poverty, sickness, community benefit and cultural activity in Selly Oak. Its objects suggest an ambition to work alongside community representatives, public authorities and other organisations, while its stated activity indicates a more concentrated delivery role. The evidence points to potential intergenerational relevance, but offers little detail on how this is realised.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Bournbrook and Selly Park
Confidence: low
The Trust's current official mosque website and its 2026 Ramadan timetable identify Jalalabad Trust Mosque in Selly Oak and advertise prayer, Islamic education, funeral, marriage and community-support services delivered through this mosque. The available evidence does not directly identify the ward.
- Jalalabad Mosque & Islamic Centre official website
The website describes Jalalabad Masjid as a local mosque and Islamic centre providing prayer, Islamic studies for children, marriage solemnisation, funeral services, and community events and support; it identifies the mosque as being in Selly Oak, Birmingham. - Jalalabad Trust Mosque Ramadan Timetable 2026
The current timetable identifies 'Jalalabad Trust Mosque' in Selly Oak, Birmingham, gives charity registration number 1105603, and lists regular prayer provision including Friday prayers and women's facilities. - ONS postcode geography, accessed via GetTheData
This source does not provide publishable evidence of operational geography under the Editorial Policy.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission records Birmingham City as the area in which the charity operates, but the available current service evidence identifies only the Selly Oak mosque site. This does not by itself demonstrate direct service delivery across Birmingham.
- The Charity Commission contact address differs from the Trust's official operational material. The former may be a correspondence address; there is insufficient evidence to treat it as an additional operational site.
- No current evidence was found of services delivered from other Birmingham wards, or of partnerships that materially extend the Trust's operational geography beyond its Selly Oak site.
- Although the mosque may be used by people travelling from elsewhere in Birmingham, beneficiary catchment is not evidenced and should not be treated as evidence of operations in other wards.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report, service timetable or programme report specifying where education, poverty-relief and community-support activities are delivered.
- Confirmation from the Trust of whether its Charity Commission contact address is solely a registered correspondence address or is used for any service delivery.
- Evidence of any regular off-site provision, formal delivery partners, or citywide programmes.

Observations
A broad community mandate, delivered through a focused educational role
The Trust appears to hold a wide remit for community wellbeing in Selly Oak, but its principal activity is specifically Islamic education for children. This may indicate that education is its main practical route into wider community support.
Why it matters
This distinction helps separate the organisation's potential role from its evidenced day-to-day role. It may be a trusted educational anchor with scope to connect families to wider support, rather than a generalist service provider.

“The charity's objects include promoting charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in Selly Oak, advancing Islam, promoting education, and relieving poverty and sickness.”

Potentially positioned as a bridge between faith, family and local institutions
Its governing objects envisage association with community representatives, statutory authorities and other local organisations. This suggests the Trust may be intended to operate relationally, not solely as an independent religious education provider.
Why it matters
If this collaborative role is active, the Trust could be an important connector between Muslim families, local services and voluntary organisations in Selly Oak.

An intergenerational remit is present but not yet explained
Although children are the stated focus of principal activity, the charity also identifies elderly people as beneficiaries. This may indicate services, informal support or community participation extending beyond its educational work.
Why it matters
This is a potentially distinctive feature: an organisation centred on children's faith education may also have an intergenerational community role. Clarifying this could reveal overlooked relationships and capabilities.
