To promote the Islamic Religion.

The Main Activity of the charity is to provide a school and college for the Muslim Community of Blackburn and United Kingdom for the teaching of Islamic religious and secular education subjects.

Activities and achievements

The Charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims:

This reporting year Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda delivered a full learning offer with focus on both Faith and National curriculum Academic studies.

During this reporting period the joy of celebrating the graduation ceremony of 20 Hifz students and 32 Alim students, of those some Hifz students have progressed onto the Alim course and others have left to pursue further studies at college. The Alim course has provided a valuable grounding for graduates to further their Islamic and Academic aspirations, some of whom have gone onto Universities to study Degree courses.

This reporting period again in August 2023 the Charity achieved record results in its GCSEs, 80% of the students aged 15 achieved levels 5 to 9 or higher in their GCSEs including English and maths and 91% of the students aged 15 achieved levels 4 to 9 or higher in their GCSEs (including English and maths). This is the new GCSE standard and there were also significant improvements in all key subject and curriculum areas.

As alluded to in previous reporting years we also have developed and now offer our own in house A level college courses to our students on our site and this has led to improved outcomes for our students. We deliver A2 Chemistry Maths, English, Computer Sciences and various other subjects.

Just like previous years we took part in a food bank project with a local charity as well as working closely with local groups to take part in projects to clean up neighbourhoods. Our students have collected and donated numerous donations to various charities during this reporting period also. Our students together with other charities and partners participated in local community projects also. Our students took part in many community cohesion initiatives. We also hosted numerous visits from Ministers of various faiths.

We partnered with an organisation called IMO to deliver Careers and Employability advice to our students and projects on promoting healthy eating and participating in activities connected with Children in Need. They also delivered Gambling addiction awareness course and also Personal Finance training.

We also hosted an event by the Lancashire Fire and Rescue service other Agencies aimed at promoting them as a career path for people from ethnic communities.

We are particularly keen that our students are well versed with all the protected characteristics under the Equalities Act 2010. We hosted numerous visits from Ministers of various faiths.

We continue to work closely with our Partners on all matters of Safeguarding including making sure there is full compliance with all the Protected Characteristics under the Equality Act.

Jamiatul-Ilm Wal-Huda UK Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 March 2024

Structure, governance and management

Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda UK is registered as a Charity with The Charity Commission under charity no: 1020165.

Regulated by declaration of trust dated 26 March 1993.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Trustees appointed by the existing members of the Trust Board by simple majority.

Reference and administrative information

See preceding page under 'Charity Information'.

Names of the charity trustees who manage the charity

All trustees are named on the preceding page under 'Charity Information'.

Risk management, financial review and reserves policy

During the year the Charity had on average 420 students (2022-23: 420). The Charity raised funds mainly from Donations and parental contributions to develop its functional properties. This would accommodate for the growing waiting list for places at the school, which is expected to continue to rise. Our policy is to continue building up reserves by means of annual operating surpluses supplemented by general-purpose appeals from time to time. The surplus reserves would be used in expanding the school.

The Board has determined that the appropriate level of free reserves, which are not invested in tangible fixed assets, should be equivalent to three months expenditure. Tangible fixed assets are all held for use by the school, but in current present uncertain property market the Trustees are unable to estimate whether the current value of these assets is materially different from that shown in the financial statements.

The Trustees actively review all major risks which the Charity faces and drawn up a risk assessment which is reviewed at every meeting. The Trustees are satisfied that all systems are in place and arrangements have been made to manage any risks identified.

The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Funds available are sufficient to permit the charity to continue in operation in the medium to long term, together with the continued support from the donors.

The Trustees would like to thank all those who assisted us with their moral and financial support and trust they continue to do so.

There are no uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Jamiatul-Ilm Wal-Huda UK

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Jamiatul-Ilm Wal-Huda UK (the Trust) for the period ended 31 March 2024.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

n the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

n the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

n the accounts did 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The appointed independent examiner of the trust:

Jamiatul-Ilm Wal-Huda UK Notes to the Accounts for the period ended 31 March 2024

1 Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 and charities SORP (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019, published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales.

The charity is a public benefit entity.

(b) Funds structure

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific trusts, which may be declared by the donor(s) or with their authority (e.g. in a public appeal) or created through legal process, but still within the wider objects of the charity. Restricted funds may be restricted income funds, which are spent at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of some particular aspect(s) of the objects of the charity, or they may be endowment funds, where the assets are required to be invested, or retained for actual use, rather than spent.

Endowment Waqaf funds as applied to mosque property is a religious endowment. The properties under Waqaf endowment are dedicated to Allah SWT for public benefit on a perpetual basis. Restricted Fixed Waqaf funds cannot be gifted, granted or disposed.

(c) Incoming resources

All income from charitable activities and voluntary donations are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

(d) Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

(e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is charged on fittings and equipment which is written off on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives:

Asset category Annual rate Fittings and equipment 5%

The trustees are of the opinion that the depreciation charge for the buildings is not required as the buildings are maintained and the expenditure reflected in the income and expenditure account.
