The Memon Association UK has grown since its formation in the early seventies from a body with modest activities such as the observance of a few religious functions, to an association that now cultivates and promotes an ever-widening involvement in Muslim and community issues on a much wider scale.

The Memon community sees itself as having such a primary identity with shared interests, relations and values over a wide spectrum.  Like the universal Muslim community of which it is a part, the Memon community is a community based on faith.  Indeed, the word 'Memon' comes from the Arabic 'Mu'min', meaning 'believer' and which was given to our forbears who first converted to Islam.

It is a matter of privilege and honour that the Memon community has been in the forefront whenever there is a call for help whether from relief organisations or from individuals suffering hardship.  It is part of its history that they are closely linked with providers of humanitarian assistance.  Compassion, generosity, self-help and integrity are on the list of priorities for the Memon Association.

The Memon Centre, will continue to be of tremendous benefit to the local community, particularly the youth and women, as well as to the larger community in the UK.  It is a focal point for visitors from overseas who are in need of information and advice on health, business, social contracts and other matters.  It remains the Association’s aim to promote contacts and work closely with organisations and institutions having similar aims and objectives both in the UK and overseas.
