A brief overview

The Norwich & Norfolk Muslim Association (NNMA) was established in 1996 to serve the growing Muslim population of Norwich and the surrounding areas.

The NNMA community centre was opened in 2008 in the heart of Norwich, a city with a rich history, and home to more than 4,000 Muslims. It is our belief that our primary concern should be to serve the needs of the local community and to work towards the common good.

Our vision is to provide a centre of excellence, with a view of providing a range of holistic and inclusive services for all sectors of the community. We offer a wide range of services from our centre. In addition to the daily prayers, we have: advice and counselling; education for children and adults; services related to marriage and death; and many more.

Promoting Tolerance and Opposing Extremism

The NNMA works actively to promote tolerance and understanding. We are a member of the Norfolk County Council; this binds together Muslims from different backgrounds and strands of Islam. We enjoy excellent interfaith relations and the strength of these relationships has stood us all in good stead during the difficulties of recent years.

Several times each year we will open the doors of the centre, inviting people to visit and view an exhibition about Islam and Muslims. Our members encourage constructive engagement in society and a rejection of extremism in all its forms. We unequivocally reject all terrorism
