thus placing the charity in good financial stead. We are happy that the mosque is a welcoming
space which meets the requirements set out in the Equalities Act. In addition, we continue to
provide all the traditional services to a high degree of exc¢ll¢nce whilst also expanding our
activities in areas such as youth Outr¢￿h.
Ffinancial Revie
Income was decreased by £29,976 during the year as a result of lower rent collection. Last yvdr
the rental income was higher due to arrears rent collection during the year. There is no differenc¢
between the expenditures. The professional fees related to payments to visiting guests and Imams
was £10,395. During the year Korie Hasana (Interest Free Loan) was paid back to the lenders and
the amount was £92.000. This is why the income over expenditure is showing £17,803 for the
year where the net su￿lUS is actually £74,199 for the year.
