OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Public Benefits
The objectives of Madina Trust are the advancement of the Islamic faith and the dissemination of the teachings of Islam.
The activities of the trust are, among others, to raise funds privately, invest these funds in halal investments and use the investment income to achieve the objectives.

Charitable activities
The charity continued advance Islamic education, support to further the education of poor students, alleviate poverty and support charitable institutions with similar objects.
The disbursements of funds amounted to £4,515 (£62,940 – 2023). This was considerably less due to the inability of the trustees to process the applications for health reasons. It is hoped that the trust will be back on its growth trajectory from the next financial year.

Investment
The charity continues to look for a suitable investment to invest its cash assets built by keeping 20% of the annual income for further investment.
Reserves policy
The trustees consider that the endowment funds held are sufficient to continue the charities activity in future years. The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity. The trustees confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Going Concern
As the charity has kept its properties occupied over the last 12 months and has continued to build on its reserves whilst still providing grants in line with the charity objectives, we see no reason that the charity will not continue to be a going concern over the next 12 months.

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Organisational structure

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2024
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Madina Trust
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 2 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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 Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 145 of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. In carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charities Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Section 145 of the Act. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
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:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
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.
