The Gloucester Muslim Welfare Association was established in the early 1960s, following the arrival of the first generation of Muslims in the city of Gloucester. The Association was responsible in making provision for facilities for Jamaat (congregational) prayers as well as Madressa (Religious out of School classes). The current purpose-built mosque was successfully unveiled in 1983 and became a landmark representing the emerging Muslim community. Added on September 2, 2009 and last updated 15 years ago
