About Us

Blackburn Muslim Association (BMA) is a Non Profitable Voluntary Organisation established in Feb 2006 with the primary aim of serving the Muslim Community. In April 2006, the association published its first free ever magazine and ever since the projects have developed and expanded.

These are the broad aims of BMA:

BMA shall be a non-political body whose aim will be to provide the means for the co-operation of all organisations, communities, institutions and projects within Blackburn and Darwen who agree to our core aims.

BMA will also provide a forum for the expression of the collective opinion of its representatives on all matters related to educational, cultural, social, economic, religious, health and all other relevant aspects, which may affect their interest.

BMA will familiarise the government, the local authorities, and other statutory and voluntary bodies with the needs of the community in the educational, cultural, social economic religious and health dimensions.

BMA will secure an effective representation of the community in all the aforementioned bodies and have full consultation with them via their representatives on all issues concerning or affecting BMA and its members.

BMA will provide full support and comprehensive advice in developing and advancing education and other activities be they religious, socio-economic, recreational, cultural, or health, which may best help to meet the needs of the community that are more disadvantaged, especially the elderly, disabled, young people and women.
