Existing Premises

Existing MosqueSwansea Mosque's current premises is located at 14-15 St. Helens Road which comprises two former terraced commercial buildings. It has been serving the whole Muslim Community since the 80’s. We enjoy positive relationships with all communities within our locality. The mosque endeavours to provide a whole host of activities that have consequently resulted in increased interest in Islam and a number of revert brothers and sisters embracing Islam.

Services to non-Muslims such as informative mosque tours consisting of a guide to Islam and outline the functions of the mosque have been very popular with local schools over the years. Due to the expanding population we are now in a position where we are unable to accommodate the growing community for prayers, education classes, community activities and even jumma (Friday prayers).

Did you know in 1983 when the Mosque first opened the estimated Muslim population in Swansea was less than 800, the current estimate is over 8,000.
The Muslim community makes up around 70% of the ethnic minority population in Swansea.
