Aims and Objectives

The primary objective of the Cambridge Muslim Trust is to provide a focus of activities for Muslims living in the Cambridge and surrounding area.  This will enable the organisation of religious, educational, and social life within the community in light of the Islamic teachings and traditions. Ultimately, making positive and effective contributions towards both the well being and enhancement of the social and cultural environment in which they live.

We believe that men, women and young people in particular deserve a dedicated facility in which they can grow and develop as socially and spiritually conscientious, well-rounded individuals who become active members of society capable of making positive contributions to their local communities.

Through Muslim youth-work, we seek to engage with young people (boys and girls) by arranging leisure activities, events and outings with clearly defined social objectives to meet our goals.

An additional aim is to provide faith and culturally sensitive work in local communities.

Acting as an information resource the Trust will provide an understanding of Islam as a faith, a religion, and as a way of life; and by striving to create an awareness of the Islamic point of view on issues of contemporary relevance. In its workings the trust has been organised as an association of equals; it does not entertain distinctions based on race, colour, ethnicity, sectarian affinities, Countries of origin or the financial standing of its members.
