The pro - cedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements

Pursuant to the constitution registered with the charity comission the board of trustees is a selfappointing body. New trustees are appointed in the event of a resignation, death or where the numbers fall below the minimum stipulated in its constitution. In the event of an appointment the existing trustees are invited to nominate suitable candidates from among the community who are familiar with the work of the trust and whom the existing trustees feel can contribute to the trust and agree who should be approached. If the candidate agrees then the trustees invite him /her for an interview and then formally vote on the candidate.
## **Induction and Training of New Of New Trustees**
As new trustees are chosen from among the local community they are familiar with the work of the charity hence there has to date not been a need to organise any formal training sessions . However, all new trustees are given an orientation session where they are briefed on their obligations to the trust under the law. A number of publications from the Charity Comission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on the advancement of religion for public benefit.
## **Organisational Structure**
The board of trustees which meets regularly takes the overall accountability for ensuring that current legislations and rules of the constitution are complied with. The trustees are assisted by the service committee (whose members are made up of volunteers) in carrying out the day to day activities.

## **Wider Network**
The Charity operates from a single office whose address is given as above.
## **Related Parties**
SRIH Property Ltd is a related party. Some of the directors of SRIH Property Limited are also the trustees of British Education & Support Trust.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The objects of the charity as set out in its constitution registered with the charity commission are summarised as follows:
(a) To advance education and religion in accordance with the tenets and doctrines of Islamic faith contained in the Quran and Sunnah in particular by providing or assisting in the provision of courses, lectures, seminars and
(b) To relieve poverty by providing or assisting in the provision of financial assistance to the poor; for education and medical field.
(c) To advance such other charitable purpose or purposes as the managing committee or the society shall from time to time decide.
Our objectives are set out to reflect our faith and community aims. Each year our trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
The charity is committed to serving the spiritual and academic needs of local and wider communities across our diverse & multicultural society. The trustees consider that these activities summarised below, provide benefit to those who regularly use our services and the wider community.
Throughout the year BEST organised and hosted a number of social and educational activities for the benefit of the local community; such as congregated Friday midday prayers, shared Iftar banquets and two Eid festivities.
Short courses and conferences were coordinated by BEST addressing the ways British Muslims can contribute to their society. As our name suggests, secular and faith based education is a key to the strategy our lecturers and educators employ.
Our scholarship and sponsorship projects are one of the most important avenues to promote education nationwide along with provision of financial support to educational institutions, cultural events and community based centres.
## **Volunteers**
The charity is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in the service provision. None of the education we deliver or support we provide would be possible without our local and foreign donors.
We hope that this support continues which helps us to reach out to more beneficiaries. All our trustees also give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The funds of the charity are unrestricted and amounted to £ 1,601,186 as at March 31, 2021 and £ 1,601,041 as at March 31, 2022.
BEST is grateful to its sister organisation –SRIH Property Limited for the use of their property. The property at 19 Cambridge Square is used to accommodate all visiting lecturers during their short stay in London and this has cut down the cost of renting alternative accommodation and/or hotels.
## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS**
We are keen to expand our scope by placing an even stronger emphasis on tackling key social issues and putting community leaders at the centre of our work, with greater attention on how we can help generate a constructive awareness of the culture of other customs, traditions and experiences that Muslims are likely to encounter whilst living in Great Britain.
Anti-social behaviour stemming from boredom of pre adulthood is a great concern for us. We strongly feel if we have the appropriate tools and resources, we could help direct youth towards positive contribution to their surroundings through organization of sports arts and cultural activities. Awareness classes would nurture talent and achieve excellence in the acquisition of advanced knowledge and equip our youth to embark upon future developments. We are hoping to have more lectures in the coming year to benefit our youths and general public.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 1993, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
1) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
