## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

The Trustees present their report and  unaudited financial statements  for the year ended 31 December 2020. The legal and administrative information  accompanying these financial statements  forms a part of this report. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note  1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing  trust deed , the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

The charity's objects are 

1. The advancement of Islam in accordance with the tenets of the Muslim Shia Ithna-Ashari Faith. 

2. The advancement of education, particularly but not exclusively in relation to Islam and the tenets of Muslim Shia Ithna-Asheri Faith. 

3. The relief of poverty and sickness amongst adherents of the Muslim Shia Ithna-Asheri Faith. 

4. To further or benefit the residents of London and the surrounding area, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the resident. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

When planning the activities for the year, t he trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and , in particular , the  supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the benefit of the public and on charities for the eradication of poverty. 

Throughout the year the charity undertook to fulfil its aims through various activities, as follows: 

1. Monthly seminars on topical issues such as interfaith, religious and intellectual debates and current affairs. When Covid-19 situation developed during the reporting period, the Trust closed its doors but continued its activities online. Weekly meetings were also held online between March 2020 and April 2021. 

2. Commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein was held for 10 days in August 2020. They were held mainly online as the Covid-19 pandemic was still prevalent. The Ramadan functions were also held online to avoid the spread of the pandemic. 

3. Managing the properties which yield the main income of the Trust. Despite a sharp drop in income, due to tenants unable to pay their rents fully, the charity managed to get through that difficult period. 

4. The charity provided financial assistance towards the education and welfare of individuals in need, consistent with the objectives of the charity.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

## **Financial review** 

The charity’s principal activity for generating funds continued to be the letting of property. Incoming resources from generated funds is lower than previous years as a result of the effects of the pandemic on certain tenants. The rental income is expected to increase to previous levels in the forthcoming year. The charity was able to give grants to support those in need during the pandemic. The trustees are pleased with the financial management and staff support during the year. The results of the charity’s operations are on page 5 to the financial statements. 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows how the charity's funds have been applied during the year. The gross receipts of the charity were £ 97,553  (201 9 :  £ 117,080 ). The investment properties increased in value by a total of £60,000 during the year. Total funds carried forward amounted to £4,645,393 (2019: £4,625,137), comprising a general income fund for charitable activities amounting to £3,050,916 (2019: £3,002,204) and a land and buildings revaluation reserve. All funds are unrestricted funds. 

The assets of the charity are held in the names of the holding trustees. The  Trust Deed authorises the trustees to make capital investment in furtherance of the charity ' s objectives. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees consider that the charity's reserves are adequate to meet its day to day expenditure and in the event of a shortfall they have access to sufficient resources to meet any deficit. For this reason the trustees do not require a minimum level of reserves to be maintained. The adequacy of the reserves policy is reviewed on a monthly basis. 

## **Investment policy** 

Under the constitution document, the charity has power to invest funds which are not immediately required for its purpose and which the managing trustees see fit in furtherance of the charity’s objectives. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees recognise that effective risk management is essential in achieving the charity's objectives. Risk management is considered as an integral element of all decision making and identifying appropriate procedures to ensure that risk levels are acceptable in each case. The Trustees believe that it is important to develop and enhance the approach in risk management, to ensure it remains fit for purpose .  The charity will formalise the risk management and create a risk register which will be reviewed on regular basis. The identified risks presented by the Covid-19 pandemic are being monitored and mitigated on an ongoing basis. 

## **Future plans** 

In addition to the objectives outlined above, the charity has additional objectives over the forthcoming 12 months period: 

1. To improve the quality of the services offered to the community. Attendance of the youth is much needed in order to create responsible attitudes towards life and society, and resist extremism. 

2. To empower women to enable them to take more interactive part in the Trust’s activities. Throughout the year some activities for women were held. 

3. To enhance the management of the investment part of the Trust. To consider managing the properties ourselves in order to improve the yield. 

4. One of the lessons from the pandemic is the use of technology as a means of communication, interaction and delivery. The Trust will endeavour to update its ability to use it and allocate a small investment in equipment to be able to use effectively the new platforms such as Zoom and Youtube. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a an unincorporated charity formed under a constitution under a deed dated  26 November  19 91 as amended on 15 October 2018 as amended by scheme dated 3 December 2019 as amended by resolution dated 24 January 2020.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

- 3 the  financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view.

## **16 Related party transactions** 

There were no related party transactions during the year (2019- none) . 

## **17 Events after the reporting date** 

On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation announced Coronavirus as a global health emergency. On 11 March 2020, it announced that Coronavirus was a global pandemic. This has had the effect of temporarily disrupting after the reporting date a significant part of the charity's charitable activities. This was anticipated by the Trustees before the year end and there is continuing ongoing evaluation by the Trustees to mitigate risks and enable the charity to continue to provide charitable activities in the current climate. In the opinion of the Trustees, it is not practicable to make a reliable estimate of the future financial effect on the net assets of the charity however there has been no significant adverse financial effect on the charity's results for the period to the date of approval of the accounts.
