Rahmania Masjid & Community Centre
Charity 1204005
Overview
Summary
Rahmania Masjid & Community Centre appears to be a faith-rooted local institution whose role extends beyond worship into practical community infrastructure. Its stated purpose combines religious education, spiritual guidance and pastoral care with the provision of facilities and services for people across age groups and for people with disabilities. The available evidence suggests a model in which a mosque and community centre functions as both a religious home and a potential point of support, gathering and connection within Birmingham.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Small Heath
Confidence: medium
Direct evidence places the charity's current registered contact address at 238 Charles Road, Small Heath, B10 9AA. The Charity Commission also records that it provides facilities and services. It is therefore reasonable to interpret Small Heath as the organisation's principal operational base, although the register does not explicitly confirm that the address is a currently active service venue rather than correspondence-only.

Records that the charity provides buildings/facilities/open space and provides services.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission records Birmingham City as the area in which the charity operates, but does not identify individual delivery locations, outreach activity, or evidence of services delivered across the city.
- The available evidence does not explicitly establish that the registered contact address is an active mosque or community-service site; it may be a registered contact address.
- No current official website, activity description, annual-report narrative, project pages, or partner evidence was available to confirm additional sites, neighbourhoods, or materially significant partnerships.
- The available evidence does not establish whether the organisation's activities are centred in Small Heath; its actual beneficiary catchment may be wider.
Additional evidence needed
- A current service timetable, venue listing, or official statement confirming the active masjid and community-centre site.
- The narrative section of the most recent trustees' annual report or accounts, setting out services, event locations and beneficiary reach.
- Official evidence of any regular delivery, satellite venues, outreach work, or formal partnerships elsewhere in Birmingham.

Observations
A dual role: faith institution and community anchor
The organisation appears to use its physical setting and service capacity to support community life alongside its core Islamic religious purpose.
Why it matters
This suggests its importance may lie not only in the activities it runs, but in providing an accessible, trusted place where religious, social and pastoral needs can intersect.

Pastoral care may be its bridge between worship and wider support
Pastoral care appears to be a distinctive element of the organisation's model, potentially enabling it to respond to personal or family needs that sit alongside formal religious activities.
Why it matters
This may make the organisation a valuable source of informal support and trusted relationships, rather than solely a venue for collective worship or instruction.

Its intended reach spans generations, but inclusion is not yet evidenced in practice
The charity presents itself as serving children, older people and people with disabilities, which may indicate an ambition to be inclusive across life stages and access needs.
Why it matters
If reflected in delivery, this could position the centre as a shared intergenerational space rather than an organisation focused on a single congregational group. It would be worth exploring how this inclusion is put into practice.

- Whether the centre provides support beyond religious education and pastoral care, and how often it does so.
- Which communities use the facilities, including whether disabled people and older residents participate in practice.
- Whether it works with local schools, health, social-care or voluntary-sector organisations.
Remaining uncertainties
