About the club
Sharing Skills, Changing Lives
A membership organisation based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, open internationally to anyone with a skill to share or a skill to gain.
Apply for membershipWho we are
Masters Club International brings together master’s graduates, tradespeople, craftspeople and experienced professionals with the people who want to learn from them. Membership is deliberately broad: a degree is not a requirement, a willingness to teach or to learn is.
Our vision
A place where people who want to teach meet people who want to learn — and where that exchange is recognised, recorded and verifiable. Every member receives a membership number and a confirmation letter that any employer or institution can check publicly.
Our mission
- Run workshops where skills are taught hands-on.
- Match mentors with mentees across trades and professions.
- Hold events that connect members across borders.
- Maintain a digitised, verifiable membership record.
Where we are
Birmingham, United Kingdom — with members and activity internationally.
Full organisational history, legal registration details, trustee/committee names and the registered address are awaiting confirmation and will be published here once provided.

Guided by a vision of human dignity, equality, and global solidarity, International Community Organization (ICO) – Masters Club International was founded in Birmingham, United Kingdom, in 2023 through the visionary initiative of Dr. Joynal Abedin, an international human rights advocate and the United Kingdom President of AHRI at the United Nations.
Our organization is committed to promoting the social and economic well-being of people of all nations, religions, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. We work to alleviate poverty and support the legitimate rights, needs, and aspirations of people around the world.
We are dedicated to promoting global peace by saying “No” to terrorism and opposing extremism, fundamentalism, violence, and all forms of hatred. We strongly believe in the potential of young people and are committed to developing youth leadership while encouraging innovation and the responsible use of information technology for the benefit of society.
Our mission is to bring people together, recognize their individual talents and abilities, and inspire them to contribute to the international community with sincerity, compassion, and a shared sense of responsibility. Through cooperation and collective action, we aim to promote inclusive economic development and create meaningful opportunities for people from all walks of life.
During local, national, and international disasters and humanitarian crises, International Community Organization (ICO) remains committed to supporting affected communities and standing beside those in need.
As society continues to evolve, we remain dedicated to working together, protecting every individual’s freedom of expression, encouraging meaningful participation, and carrying forward the activities of our organization with integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Message from the General Secretary
It is my privilege to serve as General Secretary of Masters Club International. From our home in Birmingham, I have seen firsthand how a single shared skill — taught freely and received with enthusiasm — can change the course of a person’s life.
Our club exists to make that exchange simple, dignified and verifiable. Whether you arrive with decades of professional experience or with the curiosity of a first-time learner, you will find here a community that values your contribution and supports your growth.
I warmly invite you to join us — to teach what you know, to learn what you need, and to stand with us as we build a more skilled, compassionate and connected international community.
With Warm Regards,
Mr. James Roy
