The Islamic Diversity Centre is a North East based organisation that aims to provide authentic Islamic Awareness in a holistic manner through education, awareness, engagement and empowerment.

The organisation strives to challenge stereotypes and remove misconceptions about Islam through education and practical implementation, based on the authentic teachings and understandings of the Quran and Prophetic traditions.

The Islamic Diversity Centre looks to empower Muslims in the community to increase their confidence in not only practising and remaining firm and steadfast in their Islam (41:30), but also to be able to educate others (41:33) and engage in righteousness (41:34) to help remove the many misconceptions people may have about the beautiful teachings of the religion.
