Community Support & Outreach

At Thamesmead Islamic Centre, supporting our local Muslim community is one of our core responsibilities. Our aim is not just to provide religious services but to be a source of strength, help, and belonging for individuals and families—through every stage of life.

Whether someone is going through hardship, embracing Islam, adjusting to life in a new country, or simply looking to connect with others in faith, we are here to offer support that’s sincere, practical, and rooted in Islamic values.

Our team is available to offer emotional and spiritual support to those in need. Whether it’s someone struggling with family issues, mental health concerns, grief, or simply needing someone to talk to, we try our best to provide a listening ear and practical guidance within an Islamic framework.

Sessions can be arranged privately and respectfully, with full confidentiality. In cases where professional help is needed, we can signpost to trusted Muslim counsellors or services within the local area.

“And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.”

— Qur’an, Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:2)

Support for New Muslims (Reverts): Coming to Islam is a blessing, but it also comes with new responsibilities and, at times, challenges. We provide one-to-one support for new Muslims, helping them understand the basics of faith and offering friendship, community, and follow-up learning. From learning how to pray to dealing with family concerns, we walk with them through every step.

We also host regular revert gatherings and small group classes, so new Muslims can meet others on the same journey and feel included from day one.

Outreach Programmes: We engage with the wider local community through open mosque days, school visits, charity drives, and interfaith conversations. These activities help build trust, dispel misconceptions, and reflect the beautiful character of Islam through real actions.

Whether it’s distributing food parcels, supporting the elderly, or working with other organisations on community projects, we see outreach as an act of worship and a key part of our da’wah.
