The Profile of Bath Islamic Society
Bath Islamic Society was
established in early nineties after brother Muzafar donated the building
on 8 Pierrepont Street to the Muslim community in Bath. Five years
later, to formalise the organisation, the society was registered to the
Companies House as a
limited company, so that the name became Bath Islamic Society Limited. A
decade later, as the need for the organisation has grown, the society
was registered to the
Charity Comission.
