# Newbury Jamme Masjid and Bangladesh Welfare Centre
Established in 2000, Newbury Jamme Masjid is a registered charity (number 1115793) serving the Muslim community and broader population of Newbury, Berkshire. As both a functioning mosque and community welfare centre, the organisation provides religious, educational and social services to thousands of visitors annually.
The masjid operates a spacious prayer hall accommodating approximately 300 worshippers, with dedicated facilities for women and children. Beyond daily congregational prayers and Friday Jumma services (with two separate times to accommodate demand), the centre facilitates Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan, Eid celebrations, funeral services and various community functions.
What distinguishes this institution is its dual commitment to Islamic observance and inclusive community engagement. The masjid regularly welcomes local schools, charities and community groups, actively promoting interfaith understanding and dialogue. This openness extends to their educational provision: the madrasah offers Quranic instruction for students of all ages and backgrounds, guided by dedicated instructors focused on spiritual understanding rather than rote learning.
The centre's community-led approach is evident in their proactive health initiatives, including assisted Covid-19 testing and vaccination support provided directly to congregants. By combining traditional Islamic services with practical welfare support and community education, Newbury Jamme Masjid serves as a genuinely integrated community resource, transcending conventional mosque functions to address broader social needs.
