Our Governance

The National Council consists of about 60 individuals drawn from a wide cross-section of MCB Member organisations

They meet at least every 3 months and are responsible for reviewing the activities and direction of the organisation, as well as holding MCB Office Bearers to account in line with the best interests of MCB member organisations and the wider Muslim communities in Britain.

There are five constitutionally mandated committees that must be chaired by a member of the National Council. Together with the Executive Committee, they drive the work of the Muslim Council of Britain.

• Media and Public Affairs – Ms Zara Mohammed
• Finance and General Purpose – Mr Asim Sheikh
• Legal Affairs – vacant
• Research and Documentation – Mr Mansur Safder
• Membership – Dr Hammad Lodhi
• Education Affairs – Ms Mujidat Mebude
• Mosques & Inter Faith – Dr Shahzad Amin
• Proudly Muslim & Black – Ms Rashidat Hassan
• International Affairs – Mr Ufuk Secgin

Additional teams and working groups also exist. For further information about any team or committee, feel free to get in touch here.

In addition, MCB Projects have their own committees to support with planning, delivery and close-out. You can learn more about current MCB projects here.
