01 — Executive summary
Khadimou Rassoul Community Centre — Keur Serigne Touba
A permanent, multi-purpose hub for prayer, Islamic education, youth development, and community cohesion in Birmingham.
Touba Tawfeex is a dedicated community organisation committed to serving the spiritual, educational, and social needs of the Muslim and wider community in Birmingham. Our flagship initiative, Khadimou Rassoul Community Centre — Keur Serigne Touba, will accommodate a rapidly growing congregation and expanding programmes.
Birmingham is a vibrant, diverse city, but local facilities are struggling to keep pace with the needs of our youth, families, and elders. Keur Serigne Touba will serve as a sanctuary for prayer, a centre for Islamic education, a safe space for youth development, and a key venue for civic participation.
Our mission is to provide accessible Islamic education, foster youth leadership, support families, and create a welcoming environment that bridges cultural gaps across Birmingham.
02 — The Keur Serigne Touba project
More than a building. The heartbeat of our community.
The centre is designed as a comprehensive multi-use space, serving worship, learning, family life, and civic gathering under one roof.
Islamic Education Centre
A structured madrassa and Qur’an learning centre for children and adults.
Youth & Children’s Centre
Mentoring, education, and safe recreational spaces for the next generation.
Community Gathering Space
Halls for cultural events, Dahira, and religious programmes.
Women & Families Space
Dedicated areas for sisters’ circles and family support.
Meeting & Educational Rooms
Classrooms for secular tutoring and community meetings.
Cultural Activities
A venue to celebrate heritage, host civic events, and build local bridges.
03 — Why Birmingham needs this
Our current premises can no longer hold the congregation.
Overcrowding has forced us to limit enrolment in educational programmes and restrict community gatherings. A larger, purpose-built centre will unlock expanded services for families and a central touchpoint for integration in the city.
Current activities, ready to grow
Despite space limitations, Touba Tawfeex already runs a robust schedule. Dedicated halls at Keur Serigne Touba will let these services scale sustainably.
Dahira & Religious Programmes
Regular spiritual gatherings, Zikr, and community prayers.
Madrassa & Qur’an Classes
Foundational Islamic education for children and adults.
Community Gatherings
Social events that prevent isolation among elders and the vulnerable.
Islamic Events & Family Activities
Support networks, family counselling, and inclusive community days.

05 — Youth development & education
A safe haven for the next generation.
At the core of Keur Serigne Touba is a commitment to young people in Birmingham, who face unprecedented challenges. The centre will act as a proactive intervention space — a madrassa, educational programmes, and youth clubs that form confident, responsible, and civically engaged citizens.
Equipped with modern learning tools, we will empower them with leadership skills and a strong moral foundation rooted in Islamic values.
06 — Community cohesion
Birmingham City Council as a strategic partner
Keur Serigne Touba will be an outward-facing institution, dedicated to fostering positive relationships with the wider Birmingham community. We view the Council not merely as a regulator, but as a partner in civic development.
