Jami Mosque And Islamic Centre (Birmingham) Trustees Limited
Charity 1000355
Overview
Summary
Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre appears to operate as a long-established, multi-function community institution rather than solely a place of worship. Its role combines faith practice, lifelong education, family milestones, bereavement support and social activity, with a particular historical connection to Birmingham’s Bangladeshi community. The organisation’s model appears to centre a mosque-based physical hub while extending its reach through schools, adult learning, welfare-oriented services and public-facing outreach.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Small Heath
Confidence: high
Direct evidence identifies JMIC's active mosque, office, education and community-service complex in Small Heath. Its current services and facilities are described as operating from this site. The reasonable interpretation is that the organisation's operational identity is principally neighbourhood-based: a large, multi-service faith and education hub physically concentrated in Small Heath, rather than a provider with evidenced delivery sites across Birmingham.
- Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre, Contact Us page
The organisation identifies its office as Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre Birmingham in Small Heath, and states that enquiries may concern its mosque, services, events and departments. - Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre, Our Services page
The organisation states that its mosque provides daily and Friday prayers, Ramadan and Eid activity, counselling, Islamic education, funeral and marriage services, and food-bank support. - Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre, Our Facilities page
The organisation describes prayer halls, classrooms, offices, a funeral area, meeting rooms, kitchen and parking at its Birmingham site. - Jami Mosque & Islamic Centre Annual Review 2022-23
The review records refurbishment of an education premises for Jami'ah Darul Uloom and Raheem Academy, and identifies JMIC's Darul Uloom secondary school, Raheem Academy, Jami'ah sixth form and Al Miraj Banqueting Suite as organisational services or projects. It does not provide evidence of a separate operational area beyond the Small Heath locality. - Jami'ah Darul Uloom official website
The JMIC-linked Jami'ah Darul Uloom lists a contact address within the JMIC complex.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence shows that people travel to the Small Heath site in large numbers, but it does not identify their home locations. Visitor and beneficiary reach should not be treated as evidence of service delivery in other Birmingham wards.
- JMIC's current website describes online radio, livestreamed content and Quran distribution, while its 2022-23 review says sermons reached listeners in the UK and abroad. This demonstrates digital reach but does not establish additional physical operational geography.
- The 2022-23 annual review records planned or developing use of a separate education premises, but the available current evidence does not confirm its present operational status or whether it remains managed as a separate active site.
- Historic collaborations, including a holiday scheme with Community Foundation and an event with West Midlands Muslim Society, do not provide sufficient evidence of current partnerships that materially extend JMIC's operating geography.
- The Charity Commission's West Midlands area of benefit is a constitutional permission, not evidence that current services are delivered across the West Midlands.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual review, service timetable or premises register confirming every active JMIC-operated site, including the current use of the separate education premises and Al Miraj Banqueting Suites.
- Current information on the locations of any off-site provision, such as senior home visits, food-bank distribution, outreach, school activities or funeral arrangements.
- Current formal partnership documentation showing whether any partner delivers JMIC services outside the Small Heath base.
- Aggregated, non-identifying data on the geographic catchment of service users, if the organisation wishes its wider Birmingham reach to be assessed.

Observations
A mosque functioning as civic infrastructure
The available evidence suggests the organisation uses its religious base to coordinate practical support across major stages of community life, including education, marriage registration, funerals, women’s activities and events for older people.
Why it matters
This helps explain its likely importance beyond congregational worship: it may be a recurring point of contact between residents, families and community support across generations.

Education appears to be a long-term institutional backbone
Education appears to be a central operating strand, not an additional programme: provision spans childhood, secondary schooling, religious scholarship and adult learning.
Why it matters
This indicates the organisation may shape community continuity and leadership over time, while creating sustained relationships with children, parents and adult learners.
Show evidence
“The evening maktab was established in 1975, the Hifz madrasa in 1978, the full-time boys’ secondary school in 1985, and adult Islamic education began in 1992.”

Rooted in one community, with signals of wider-facing engagement
The organisation appears historically rooted in Birmingham’s Bangladeshi community while also presenting itself as a broader Muslim and public-facing institution through interfaith activity and free Qur’an distribution.
Why it matters
This may make it a potential bridge between a longstanding local community and wider civic or interfaith networks, rather than an institution serving only a single constituency.
Show evidence
“JMIC was established in 1973 by prominent members of Birmingham’s Bangladeshi community.”

- Whether services primarily reach the local Bangladeshi community, a wider Muslim population, or non-Muslim residents.
- How the schools, mosque, welfare services and named departments are governed and connected in practice.
- Which external organisations, public bodies or faith groups the organisation works with.
Remaining uncertainties
- Service-use and beneficiary data by age, gender, geography and programme.

- Recent annual reports or impact evidence describing outcomes beyond service provision.
