About
Welcome to the Islamic Welfare Association of West Surrey.
Our Association was formed in 1986, to serve the Muslim community in and around Royal Holloway University of London. Many of our active members live further afield, in the surrounding Home Counties of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
Aims
The Islamic Welfare Association seeks to promote the educational and spiritual well-being of Muslims in the area. It also strives to foster good relations with our neighbours in the wider community by raising positive Islam-awareness. This is done formally through lectures, exhibitions, guided tours to mosques and by engaging with other charities, voluntary groups and local government bodies. Most importantly, we try to promote a positive image of Islam by our personal living example, in day-to-day contact with our colleagues at work and with our neighbours and friends everywhere.
Venue
Most of our activities are centred around the Royal Holloway University of London campus on the A30 London Road in Egham. Occasionally we have functions at the nearby Jurgens Centre in Englefield Green or the Egham Youth Centre. We are working hard to find a suitable property to make our home.
