The previous financial year the Masjid was affected by closures and limited capacity from guidelines released at various stages to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak. Once the COVID-19 guidelines allowed places to worship to open with no restrictions the objective of the Masjid was to get the services provided prior to the COVID19 pandemic back in operation.

We want our masjid a place of worship that is accessible to all Muslims and to the wider public that want to know more about our faith. The masjid have facilities for women that wish to use the masjid as a place of worship. The masjid is open every day the week to facilitate the five daily prayers.
An important part of the Islamic faith is to give in charity in accordance to ones’ wealth and the masjid collects Zakat ul-Fitr during the month of Ramadhan and sends the money to the poor and needy people in different parts of the world at the end of Ramadan.
An important part of the Masjid strategy was to start classes for Muslim students in the community to learn the correct teachings involved in reading and understanding the message in the Quran. The Masjid madrassa program has started with the interest gathering pace for parents to register their children into the masjid madrassa.
The masjid is working to undertake numerous building projects in or to improve its facilities for visitors attending the masjid and students that attend classes in the Madrassa. The ongoing works on the masjid are planned to help develop a
place of worship and educational resource centre that will help benefit the worshipers that attend York Street and students utilising its educational facilities.
The masjid has started to work with Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham to arrange for learned teachers to help provide Friday Jummah Sermans and to hold lectures at the masjid to benefit the Muslim community to understand the practices in their faith.
The long-term vision and aim of the Masjid is to engage with the Burton community and hold open-days for the Burton and wider community. The masjid sees this as an opportunity to invite people of different faiths and those that have no faith to help build relationships within the community between people of the Muslim faith and community of different faiths and background.
