CMCT
Canterbury Muslim Community Trust was established in 2014 by a group of local Muslims in Christchurch. As a registered New Zealand charity, our purpose is to foster positive relationships between the Canterbury Muslim community and wider society, promote incllusiveness and support within the community, as well as raise awareness of Islamic values and the needs of Muslims in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Upcoming at CMCT
We hope to always be engaged with other groups, organisations, services or individuals to be able to give back to the Muslim community of Canterbury.
Get in contact with us if you are looking to collaborate or complete a project with us.
