# UKIM Oldham
UKIM Oldham is an Islamic community organisation based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, that has been serving the local community since 1962. As part of the UK Islamic Mission, they operate a mosque and cultural centre dedicated to promoting understanding of Islam and fostering cohesive, united communities across the UK.
The organisation primarily serves Muslims of all ages and abilities, whilst also engaging with the broader Oldham community through interfaith initiatives and educational outreach. They cater to families, young people, and those seeking to learn about Islamic teachings and practice.
What distinguishes UKIM Oldham is their dual commitment to spiritual guidance and community integration. They actively combat misconceptions about Islam through public engagement programmes, including National Mosque Open Days and the #VisitMyMosque campaign, making their facilities accessible to non-Muslims seeking understanding. Their educational provision spans all ages, whilst their volunteer-led approach empowers local residents to become positive role models and community mentors.
The organisation also provides practical support during significant periods—their Covid-19 response and regular community events like Eid celebrations demonstrate their responsiveness to local needs. By offering free resources, publishing monthly Salah timetables, and maintaining an "Ask Imam" service, they provide accessible Islamic guidance. Their emphasis on volunteering and donations reflects a grassroots commitment to creating meaningful social change within Oldham and beyond.
