Alms and Objectlves: The aims and objectives of the society are those stated in the constitution of society and have not changed since its inception. Servlces to members and the broader Community: The society continues to strive to provide the religious, cultural, social and educational needs of all Its members and the broader society's community including children, women and the elderly. This includes daily five-time prayer congregations, Friday sermons and congregations, regular daily religious education classes for the children (with a modernised and diverse curriculum), funeral and burial services and observance of several annual important religious events (in the Islamic calendar), to name a few. Various lecture8, 8eminars and religious congregations (delivered in several languages including English, Arabic and Urdu) were held for all walks of life, especially for women and in particular the youth to fulfil the society's religious, cultural, civic, safeguarding, social and law-abiding responsibilities. In addition, we have also held several surgeries in relation to health and general well-being for women and men that were delivered by professional bodies including charities and NHS. The society continues to employ appropriate numbers of suitably qualified and vetted personnel (in line with current legislation and good practice) and has many suitable volunteers to meet the needs of the service users. The society is always keen to develop its users. understsnding of the importance of living in multi-cultural Britain, so that they fully participate in the broader diverse society, based on respect, aCPtance and tolerance values. To this end, the society continues to deliver diverse lectures for youngsters and provides extra-curricular activities. (including sporting activities like cricket, football and martial arts competitions, funfairs and Galas to name a few) for children, young people and adults. We also organised dedicated sessions for children and young people as well as adults to raise their awareness of drug and alcohol misuse and street & neighbourhood crimes. These services and activities are being delivered and supported by suitably qualified and appropriate personnel. These seNices are at present being used by over 6501750 users every week
(especially during Friday congregations but the number is significantly more during religious events and festivals such as Ramadan and Eid) with a minimum of 50160 adults and over 350 children attending, for various services, almost daily. Assets and Flnances: As in previous years, the society has continued to effectively manage its finances and overall business of the society. Our donations have been adversely affected since COVID, but the society has managed its business well despite reduction in donations. However, the Trustees are delighted to report that despite the varying financial pressures and existing priorities, the newly built community centre is now functional. All major external and intemal building work to the multi-purpose & multi-storey community ntre has satisfactorily been completed. The purpose-built car park along with boundary walls and other security measures have almost been completed. Formal approval of building certificates from the local council to fully use the centre have been obtained. Other key sites of the society have appropriately been maintained to ensure they continue to meet the needs of the users and that they are well-presented and professionally managed. safe and secure with modem and effective CCTV facilities. Islam places a huge importance on Education and Leaming and, the fact that the first words (of the Holy Quran) that were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad • was "IQRA read" a critical component in attaining knowledge. In many parts of the Quran, Allah (SWT) mentions that those who contemplate and reflect, especially when utilising their intellectual faculty, will find the Signs that the ignorant don't. "Keep on leaming and discover the wonders of the world, and within those beauties will you find the great Signs of Allah the Almighty. By seeking knowledge, you will expand your worldview, make you more mature and wiser, Insha'Allah'. Therefore, seeking knowledge and placing importance on learning has been obligated upon all Muslims. Tha Prophet Muhammad said. "Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim (men and women).. We firmly believe that Education is the key to balance the growth of the personality be spiritual, intellectual and rational. Education is the path that connects one's personality with their pure self; hence, Education in Islam means acquiring all forms of knowledge including the 'divine' knowledge. In this context, we are maximising the usage of our new purpose-built centre for all business activities, including maximise the leaming and developmental opportunities for all, but especially our children and young people (including in-door sports activities). We have designated a 'Hall' each for girls and boys girls will have their hall in the newly built centre and boys will continue to use the existing educational Hall at the Whitaker Street building. At the Dark Lane Madrassa, there will be suitable 'leaming zones, for girls and boys. In addition, in the newly built centre, we have dedicated two Halls for community-related activities that are being used by our members and non-members alike, which are proving to be a good source for income generation to support the sustainability of the centre and stability of the organisation. Conclusion: The Trustees are satisfied that the Management Committee has adequately executed their duties and, by the constitution of the society. The Trustees would also like to thank the Management Committee, the Youth Committee, the society membership and above all its volunteers and donors for their valuable seNices and donations. This directly helps the society to continue to provide the services that are needed for the memberships and users and provides a centre for prayers also.
