In 2008, the organization was incorporated as a charitable company, officially known as Becontree Heath Islamic Society (Dagenham Central Masjid) Ltd. The charity's mission is to advance the Islamic religion for the benefit of the public by providing places for Muslims to perform their worship and other religious rites, promoting knowledge and understanding of Islam, and fostering better relations between Muslim and non-Muslim communities.
