Islamic Dawah Centre International
Charity 1092139
Overview
Summary
Islamic Dawah Centre International appears to be a public-facing religious and educational charity whose stated remit is broad, combining services, advice and other charitable activity for the general public. Its visible online presence places particular emphasis on supporter-led income through retail purchases and donations, rather than explaining programmes or outcomes. This suggests an organisation currently easier to understand through its fundraising channels and formal charitable purposes than through evidence of its delivery model, partnerships or reach.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Nechells
Confidence: medium
The charity consistently identifies Unit 1, St. Clements Centre, 11 St. Clements Road, B7 5AF as its principal/contact address. The postcode is within Nechells, and the charity's current website presents an active official eBay store supporting its Dawah work. This reasonably supports a functioning operational base in Nechells, although the available evidence does not explicitly describe which on-site services are delivered there.
- Charity Commission register, Islamic Dawah Centre International (charity 1092139), current record and 2024 reporting information
Lists the charity's contact address as Unit 1, St. Clements Centre, 11 St. Clements Road, Birmingham, B7 5AF; records three employees and that the charity owns and/or leases land or property. - IDCI official website
Directs users to IDCI's official eBay store and states that purchases support its ongoing Dawah activities, indicating current organisational activity linked to the charity's official contact presence. - Postcode geography record for B7 5AF
Identifies B7 5AF on St. Clements Road as being within the Nechells electoral ward.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence does not identify whether Unit 1 is principally an office, storage and distribution base, retail operation, educational venue, or a combination of these functions.
- The Charity Commission records that the charity operates throughout England and Wales, supporting a national-scale footprint, but the available material does not show the locations, volume or method of delivery of services outside Birmingham.
- No current evidence was found of Birmingham delivery sites beyond the St. Clements Road base, or of partnerships that materially extend the charity's operational geography within Birmingham.
- The organisation's international name does not itself evidence international delivery activity.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report, impact report or service-delivery statement specifying where educational literature, videos, advice or other Dawah activity is distributed or delivered.
- Current information from IDCI confirming the operational functions undertaken at Unit 1, St. Clements Centre.
- A current list of delivery partners, event venues, outreach locations or distribution destinations, if these exist.

Findings
A broad public-benefit religious education remit
The available evidence suggests that IDCI positions religious activity and education as public-facing charitable work, rather than limiting its stated beneficiary group to a defined membership or community.
Why it matters
This indicates a potentially wide civic role: the organisation may operate at the intersection of faith-based education, information and general public engagement. However, the breadth of the remit makes its actual focus difficult to determine.

Supporter commerce may be part of the operating model
IDCI appears to use an official eBay store alongside direct donations to sustain its Dawah activities and projects. This may indicate a mixed fundraising model that turns supporter purchases into charitable income.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the organisation from charities whose public presence centres on services or campaigns. It may also create a practical relationship with supporters that extends beyond one-off donations.

Delivery activity is less visible than fundraising
The supplied website material focuses on ways to buy, donate or make contact, with no described programmes, beneficiaries, partnerships or outcomes. This may reflect limited public information rather than limited activity.
Why it matters
This is an important evidence gap for understanding IDCI’s civic contribution: formal purposes alone cannot show who benefits, how support is delivered or where collaboration may be possible.
