It all starts with why.
In 1985, a group of students and the local community came together and organised themselves to establish a place of worship for the growing Muslim community in the Fulham and surrounding areas. After much effort and fundraising, they successfully managed to obtain the freehold and modify the current building, which was previously Chelsea College (Bridges Place Annex) of Science and Technology University of London., into the Almuntada Mosque.
Shortly after, the Al Muntada Charity was established as well as the Almuntada School, followed by the overseas department.
As the department’s expanded, it became important that they each became an independent entity in order to adequately meet their needs. In 2014, a demerger took place and a separate entity, the West London Islamic Cultural Centre (WLICC) was established to manage the mosque and Dawah related activities.
