CICC (Colchester Islamic Community Centre)

CICC is a registered charity that was set up in 2017 to meet the needs of local Muslims.

Muslims in Colchester and North Essex are an ethnically diverse and active community. The number of Muslims in Colchester has grown significantly in Colchester and surrounding the last decade and with this growth comes growing needs.

Families need a space where children, women and men of all ages and backgrounds, can come together to practice their Islamic faith.

CICC’s vision is to establish a Mosque and community centre to become the hub for local Muslims by reviving the essence of the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him) both in practice and in spirit through serving the Colchester community.

We are fulfilling this through education, activities, charity and interfaith work. In the future, with the purchase of a dedicated space for prayer and community activities we will be able to fulfil our vision for generations to come.

In 2019 CICC bought a premises on Bromley Road, Colchester. A major project to extend and extensively renovate the site was commenced in Autumn 2023.
