Shah Poran Islamic Jami Mosque And Community Trust
Charity 1093509
Overview
Summary
Shah Poran Islamic Jami Mosque And Community Trust appears to use a faith-based community setting as a practical platform for social support, learning and inclusion in Birmingham. Its activity mix suggests a role that extends beyond worship or religious education: it combines advice, advocacy, supplementary learning and poverty-related charitable purposes. The available evidence particularly points to an organisation serving children and young people while also seeking to reduce barriers faced by disabled people and people from particular ethnic or racial backgrounds.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Bordesley Green
Confidence: low
The Charity Commission records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property and describes its current activities. However, the available evidence does not explicitly identify an operational base or service delivery in Bordesley Green ward.
- Charity Commission register, Shah Poran Islamic Jami Mosque and Community Trust (charity 1093509), current charity overview/contact information
Records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property; and describes current activities as advice and guidance, advocacy and information, supplementary education, an after-school club and faith education.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission record reports that the charity operates in Birmingham City, but does not identify service locations, the geographic origin of beneficiaries, or whether advice, supplementary education and after-school provision are delivered beyond its registered contact location.
- The registered contact information may partly serve administrative or correspondence purposes. Available public evidence does not explicitly state which activities take place at a particular site, despite the charity reporting that it owns and/or leases property.
- No material delivery partnerships, satellite sites or project venues were evidenced. Shared trusteeships with other charities are not treated as evidence of operational partnerships.
- The citywide coverage classification reflects the charity’s current self-reported Charity Commission operating area, not evidence of a citywide network of sites or neighbourhood-based delivery.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report, service timetable or official organisational communication specifying where advice, supplementary education, after-school club and faith-education sessions are delivered.
- Confirmation from the charity of whether it has an active mosque or community-service site and whether it has additional delivery venues.
- Details of any current formal delivery partnerships, referral arrangements or commissioned services that extend activity into other Birmingham wards.

Observations
A faith-rooted organisation with a broader civic role
The organisation appears to position faith education alongside practical community support, rather than treating them as separate areas of work.
Why it matters
This suggests the trust may be an accessible local bridge between religious, educational and welfare needs, potentially reaching people who might not approach mainstream support services first.

Support may be organised around family and young people's needs
Supplementary education and an after-school club, combined with advice and advocacy, may indicate a service model that supports children while also helping families navigate wider difficulties.
Why it matters
This would make the trust more than an education provider: it may be a local point of continuity between children's learning, parental support and access to information.

An inclusion intention is stated, but its practical focus is unclear
The trust identifies disabled people and people of particular ethnic or racial origin among those it helps, suggesting an intention to address exclusion affecting more than one community group.
Why it matters
This raises a useful question about whether the organisation has distinctive accessibility, language, cultural-navigation or advocacy capabilities that could complement other Birmingham services.

Remaining uncertainties

- Information on partnerships, staffing or volunteers, and outcomes from advice, advocacy and education activities.
