The Harlesden Islamic Cultural Centre was incorporated to empower and benefit the Muslim community and the wider community of the Borough of Brent with the aims of promoting education; relieving poverty, sickness, hardship or distress; and the provision of recreational facilities with a social welfare purpose.
Our Vision Brent is a place where every Muslim can have pride in their community and this can be inspired and supported by building a purpose build Islamic Centre to realise the potential of all members of the community so that they can serve for the greater good of all, in line with the Islamic ethos.
