Trustees Annual Report for the Year ended 31°* December 2023

Aim & Purposes

The Organisation has a responsibility of providing Islamic teachings to the Muslim Community of the local area as well as providing a better understanding of the Islamic faith to the much wider Community. The Organisation also aims to provide suitable premises and facilities to any service user.

Objectives and Activities of the Charity

The Charity's main objective of relocating to the new building on 221 Halesowen Road, Old Hill B64 6JE has been achieved.

During the year we have continued work on new floor. We have completed the structural work and now we are working on furnishing. We aim to complete the work by 2024.

The new premises are being used for daily prayers, educational classes for all age groups, community meetings/gatherings/functions, social activities, and Muslim funerals. Meeting rooms are available to external organisations on request.

Achievements and Performance

During the last year, the Charity has continued with its efforts to provide children with Islamic education and studies. In addition, we have moved to the new premises which have been used for daily prayers where an Imam (teacher) leads the prayers five times a day. Educational classes for various age groups have been organised too.

The Charity has been very active in promoting and advertising the new premises to facilitate fundraising and related activities. The Charity is continuing its development work to make the new building even bigger with the planned extension.

Financial Review

Total Receipts were £87,281

This was made up of public donations at Friday prayers, monthly membership fees and voluntary donations.

Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which showa true and fair view of the Charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

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