Selly Park Community Mosque
Charity 1215678
Overview
Summary
Selly Park Community Mosque appears to be a faith-based community anchor whose role extends beyond worship into education, pastoral support, outreach and interfaith engagement. Its stated purpose suggests an operating model centred on maintaining a physical place where religious practice and wider community connection can occur. The organisation is notable for framing Islamic faith advancement alongside peace and understanding, indicating that it may see relationships beyond its immediate congregation as part of its charitable role.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Bournbrook and Selly Park
Confidence: medium
The Charity Commission lists a contact address for the charity in Birmingham, but a contact address alone does not confirm operational activity in Bournbrook and Selly Park ward. The charity is newly registered and there is no published activity information confirming a service or worship site in the ward.
- Charity Commission Register of Charities, Selly Park Community Mosque (charity 1215678)
Lists a charity address in Birmingham; records its working name as Selly Park Masjid; and identifies its purposes as prayer and worship, religious education, pastoral care and community outreach. - Birmingham City Council, New ward maps - 2024
Identifies Bournbrook and Selly Park as a current Birmingham ward.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission records that the charity operates in Birmingham City, which supports a citywide declared coverage, but no activity description, timetable, annual return or impact report is yet available to show where services are actually delivered.
- It is not confirmed whether the charity's contact address is a mosque, prayer venue, education venue or solely a registered/contact address.
- No current evidence identifies additional Birmingham wards, satellite venues, delivery partners or formal partnerships that materially extend the charity's operational reach.
- The charity was registered on 7 November 2025 and is not yet required to submit accounts or an annual return, so the public record is limited.
Additional evidence needed
- A current official website, service timetable or venue listing confirming worship, education, pastoral-care or outreach locations.
- The first trustees' annual report and accounts, including a description of activities and places of delivery.
- Official evidence of any venue lease, ownership, planning or licensing arrangement for the charity's contact address.
- Confirmation from the charity or named partners of any regular delivery beyond its base.

Observations
A place-based platform for several forms of support
The mosque appears to use its building or facilities as the foundation for a broader mix of religious, educational, pastoral and outreach activity, rather than functioning only as a venue for prayer.
Why it matters
This suggests its civic value may lie partly in providing a trusted, accessible setting through which multiple forms of support and connection can be organised.

Interfaith work is part of its stated mission, not an incidental possibility
The organisation appears to position understanding and peace between faiths or communities as a deliberate part of advancing its charitable purpose.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the mosque from an organisation focused solely on internal religious provision and suggests potential relevance as a bridge-builder in local civic relationships.

Its intended reach spans multiple generations and support needs
The charity appears to conceive its community as wider than a single age group or narrowly defined client group, with intended relevance to young people, older people, disabled people and people of particular ethnic or racial origins.
Why it matters
This may indicate a role in connecting groups whose needs, participation and access requirements differ; however, the evidence does not show whether tailored services are currently delivered.
