Opening of the Umar Centre – Strengthening Community Through Learning and Support

Banbury Madni Masjid is proud to announce the official opening of the Umar Centre, marking an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to serve and support the local community. This special day was celebrated alongside our partners, stakeholders, and community members, whose continued support has played a vital role in making this vision a reality.

The Umar Centre has been established as a dedicated space for education, wellbeing, and community engagementdesigned to be open, welcoming, and accessible to everyone. It represents a shared aspiration to provide opportunities that benefit individuals and families across Banbury and beyond.

A Purpose-Built Space for the Community

As shared during the opening remarks, the Umar Centre has been created by the community, for the community. It offers a safe and inclusive environment where people of all ages can come together to learn, connect, and grow.

The Centre is intended to serve as a hub for collaboration and positive engagement. Whether supporting children in their education, helping adults develop new skills, or providing awareness and wellbeing programmes, the Umar Centre aims to respond to the real needs of the community.

Educational and Community Programmes

A range of initiatives have already been planned to ensure the Umar Centre becomes a vibrant and active space. These programmes reflect our strong focus on education, empowerment, and safeguarding community wellbeing.

Planned activities include:

  • 📘 Tuition classes for KS1 and KS2 students, supporting early learning and academic confidence
  • 🎓 GCSE support sessions to help students prepare effectively for their exams
  • 🗣️ Adult English classes, enabling improved communication and integration
  • 📝 Work in progress to introduce FCSE courses, providing further learning pathways
  • 🍳 Launch of the Little Chefs Cooking Club, encouraging creativity and life skills among children
  • 🛡️ A two-day Domestic Abuse Awareness course, aimed at education, prevention, and community safety
  • Through these initiatives, the Umar Centre seeks to create a balanced programme that supports both educational development and social wellbeing.

    Creating Opportunities and Building Confidence

    The Umar Centre is more than a physical building. It is a place where skills are developed, confidence is built, and opportunities are created. By offering structured learning and awareness programmes, the Centre aims to empower individuals to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society.

    These efforts align with the wider mission of Banbury Madni Masjid to promote education, compassion, and unity, while addressing the practical challenges faced by many within the community.

    Message from the Trustees

    Reflecting on the significance of this achievement, the Trustees shared the following message:

We are proud to open our doors to the community and look forward to seeing the Centre become a place where people of all ages can come together, share knowledge, and build brighter futures.”

    This vision will continue to guide the development of the Centre and the programmes delivered within it.
