Our Governance

The National Council consists of circa 50 individuals drawn from a wide cross-section of MCB Member organisations

They meet 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 – Chair, Mr Harun Khan
• Finance and General Purpose – Chair, Mr Navshir Jaffer
• Membership – Chair, Mr Muhammad Adrees Sharif
• Legal Affairs – Chair, Ms Ifath Nawaz
• Research and Documentation – Chair, Dr Shuja Shafi

Additional committees include Education Affairs, International Affairs and others. 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.
