# Salaam Community Centre
Salaam Community Association and Masjid, located in Manchester's M16 postcode, is an established Islamic community centre that has served the local Muslim population since its founding in 1984. Registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (Number: 1141175), the organisation was born from the vision of a diverse group of Muslims—including reverts from Caribbean, North and West African, Ugandan and English backgrounds—who sought to create a dedicated space for worship and religious education.
The centre operates as a functioning mosque open throughout the day, providing five daily congregational prayers with clearly published prayer times and downloadable timetables. Beyond prayer facilities, Salaam Community Centre distinguishes itself through a comprehensive range of Islamic services and educational programmes. These include structured Islamic studies lectures for both men and women, a dedicated Madrasah utilising two dedicated rooms for youth religious education, and da'wah (Islamic outreach) activities that reflect the organisation's commitment to community engagement.
The centre also provides religious services including Islamic marriage (Nikah) ceremonies conducted by the resident Imam. What sets Salaam apart is its emphasis on practical community support—actively fundraising for community projects and youth work initiatives that extend beyond traditional mosque functions. The organisation is governed professionally by a Chairman and Trustees operating under formal Articles of Association, demonstrating institutional maturity and accountability to its community members and supporters.
