Nimra Muslim Community Centre
Charity 1097216
Overview
Summary
Nimra Muslim Community Centre appears to be constituted as a faith-rooted neighbourhood institution: its formal purposes combine worship with education, social welfare, leisure and charitable relief for Handsworth residents, particularly people of Islamic faith. However, the available public-facing web evidence appears misaligned with this identity, presenting an accountancy firm rather than community-centre activity. This creates uncertainty about the organisation’s current operating presence, while its registered objects suggest a potentially broad convening and support role if active.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Birchfield
Confidence: low
The charity's current Charity Commission contact address and recent accounts identify an address in Birmingham, but a contact or registered address does not establish operational activity in Birchfield.
- Charity Commission Register, Nimra Muslim Community Centre (charity 1097216)
The registered contact address is in Birmingham; the charity's working names include Masjid-e-Nimra and Nimra Education Centre. - Nimra Muslim Community Centre annual accounts for year ended 31 March 2025, filed with the Charity Commission
The accounts identify the organisation at an address in Birmingham.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission records that the charity operates in Birmingham City and provides religious activities for Birmingham-area residents, but the available evidence does not identify delivery sites, sessions or programmes elsewhere in the city.
- The governing document defines the area of benefit as Handsworth and the neighbourhood. This supports a locally focused identity, but Handsworth is a recognised locality rather than a current ward identifier in the supplied list.
- The registered website is an AMCI Associates accountancy website, with an office at a different Birmingham address. It does not provide current programme, venue, partnership or service-location information for Nimra Muslim Community Centre.
- No material operational partnerships, satellite sites or outreach locations were evidenced in the Charity Commission record, recent accounts, or the linked website.
Additional evidence needed
- A current timetable, annual report or service description from Nimra Muslim Community Centre or Masjid-e-Nimra showing where worship, education, advice or community activities are delivered.
- Confirmation from the charity of whether its recorded Birmingham address is its active worship and service venue rather than solely a correspondence address.
- Details of any current delivery partners, commissioned activity, outreach arrangements or venues beyond the recorded site.
- Beneficiary or attendance geography data, if collected, to test whether activity is principally local to Handsworth/Birchfield or substantively serves Birmingham more widely.

Observations
A broad civic mandate sits behind a faith-based identity
The charity appears intended to serve as more than a place of worship. Its objects suggest an operating model that links Islamic religious life with education, social welfare, leisure and charitable relief for a defined neighbourhood.
Why it matters
This indicates potential relevance to local wellbeing and community infrastructure, not solely to religious provision. It may also make the organisation a possible bridge between faith communities and wider Handsworth residents.

“Its objects include providing a place of worship and advancing the Islamic faith.”

Its intended beneficiary base may be wider than its reported activity suggests
The reported activity is framed as religious provision for Birmingham residents, while the objects identify children, older people, the general public and the local area of benefit. This may indicate either a narrow current offer or an under-described wider role.
Why it matters
The distinction matters when assessing whether local groups could find support, partnership or space through the organisation beyond worship activity.

The available website evidence raises a significant identity or governance question
The supplied website content appears to belong to AMCI Associates, an accountancy and tax firm, rather than to Nimra Muslim Community Centre. This may indicate an outdated, incorrect or repurposed web link, or a relationship that the evidence does not explain.
Why it matters
A mismatched digital presence can make a community organisation difficult to discover, assess or approach. It also prevents reliable conclusions about current programmes, contacts and partnerships.

- Whether the centre currently provides education, welfare, leisure, advice or relief activities in addition to worship.
- Whether the accountancy website is incorrectly linked, outdated, or connected to the charity in an unexplained way.
- Which local organisations, faith groups or public services the centre currently works with.
Remaining uncertainties
- Current programme information, opening arrangements, contact details and descriptions of services from the organisation.
- Recent annual reports, accounts or trustee reports showing activities, expenditure, beneficiaries and partnerships.
- Evidence from local residents or partner organisations about the centre's practical role in Handsworth.
