About Us
The Muath Trust was established in 1990 and is one of the largest community led
third sector initiatives in the United Kingdom. Founded by members of the Yemeni
community, the oldest Muslim community to settle in Birmingham, the Muath Trust
plays a pivotal role in helping the community integrate within wider society by
helping build its capacity and encouraging its members to play a more effective
role within society. Since its inception, the Muath Trust has strived to offer high
quality education and training and provided essential services that cater to the
needs of different sections of the community.
Popularly known as the ‘Amanah’, The Trust is based in the Bordesely Centre, a Grade
II listed building, which after undergoing a major refurbishment in 2005, offers
a modern, spacious and well-resourced facility. The Centre hosts a range of activities
including a Children’s Centre, a Day Nursery, Supplementary Arabic Schools, Adult
Education and Vocational Training Centre, youth activities, care for the elderly
and an excellent venue for conferences and weddings. In addition, the Muath Trust
established the Amanah Masjid in a nearby location in 2006, it has since become
one of the largest and most active mosques in the city of Birmingham.
The Muath Trust is committed to deliver its programmes by entering into strategic
partnerships with key stakeholders and other specialist institutions. Over the last
20 years, the Trust has entered into long standing relationships with the Birmingham
City Council, Government Office West Midlands, the Home Office, University of Birmingham,
Children’s Fund, Learning & Skills Council and Longulf UK to name a few.
