IMDAADUL GHURABAA TRUST
TRUSTEES REPORT
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are as follows: a) To relieve persons in any part of the world who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress as a result of local, national or international disaster or by reasons of their social and economic circumstances and in particular by means of employing human and material resources to provide appropriate relief to such persons. b)�The education of adults and children throughout the world.
c) Other charitable purposes for the benefit of the communities in the United Kingdom as and when deemed necessary by the Society.
Imdaadul Ghurabaa Trust owns a small property portfolio consisting of both residential and commercial properties. This provides the majority of the charity’s income. Donations are accepted from individuals known to the Trustees and who are aware of the Trust’s good work, but the Charity does not request donations through advertising or the use of collection tins.
The Trust is run by volunteers who undertake property management duties as well as formal positions within the charity, but no payment is made for their services. In order to deliver its objects of relieving hardship, supporting education and benefitting communities, the charity provides grants to registered charities to carry out this work, if the relevant criteria are met and after robust research has been undertaken.
The Trustees believe they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
Achievements and Performance
The Charity has provided funds to charitable organisations in both the UK and India in 2024/25 with some examples shown below:
Medicins Sans Frontieres, UK – doctors without borders – medical aid where it’s needed most. Independent. Neutral. Impartial - £3,000
Al Mubarak Foundation, UK – providing a weekly food bank for West Yorkshire residents- £3,000
Macmillan Cancer Support, UK – care and support for people living with cancer - £3,000
Tajweedul Quraan, India – education and accommodation for the poorest children in the Uttar Pradesh region of India. Also preparation of food parcels for the people of Delhi and surrounding areas - £10,000
Falah-e-Daarain Trust, India – housing, education and food for the poorest people in the Uttar Pradesh region of India - £10,000
The Trustees believe the donations made in the year contributed greatly to achieving the Charity’s stated aims.
Financial Review
The financial position of the Trust at the year-end shows reserves of £1,045k. This was after a deficit incurred in the year of £82k, following an extensive refurbishment of our London property. The liabilities include a noninterest-bearing loan of £50k due to a Trustee.
Income from property investments yielded £96k. Donations received in the year were £11k. The Charity aims to donate a third of income to fulfil its aims and objectives, spend a third on maintenance of the property portfolio and the final third on building the investment portfolio, so that in future, more meaningful contributions can be made to charitable efforts. Due to a repair budget of £141k for refurbishment of property, a deficit was made in the year. Despite this investment, 29% (£31k)of income was donated to deserving causes.
The Charity is in good financial health and there are no risks the Trustees are considering which would impact the going concern status of the Trust.
Plans for Future Periods
The Trustees regularly review the direction of the Charity and how it can fulfil its aims and objects, including the consideration of risks and the broadening of the investment portfolio into different investment classes.
There are some cash funds available to invest in new projects and the current property portfolio. Trustees are actively considering various investment options, working with property and finance professionals.
The impact of Covid on tenants has now subsided and many individuals now choose to work from home. The Charity continues to provide safe, warm and comfortable accommodation for all tenants.
In order for the Charity to achieve efficiencies in its operations and enhance protection for Trustees, work has been ongoing into researching converting the Charity into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This work will be presented to Trustees at the AGM for a decision. The change in structure is expected to take six months.
The Trust follows and regularly reviews a suite of robust policies, as agreed with the Charity Commission and has also strengthened its assurance procedures to continue its overseas work.
Structure, Governance and Management
The governing document is a Constitution adopted on 22nd August 1999, then amended on 10th November 2002. The Charity is constituted as an unincorporated association, being managed by volunteers. During the financial year, with the help of the Charity Commission, Trustees continue to review and update a suite of policies which has greatly enhanced the governance effort.
The Charity currently has ten Trustees, and the governing document recommends a minimum of four meetings a year and a quorum of three Trustees to establish a meeting. Due to the geographical dispersion of Trustees, meetings are held in Yorkshire, London and Gloucestershire. Decisions are made both within these Trustee meetings, conference calls and through email correspondence.
Trustees are selected by interview and based on a need to fulfil a skills gap or the addition of specialist knowledge. Periodically, observers are invited to attend meetings in order to understand the work of the Trust and provide counsel.
All risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and procedures have been established to manage those risks.
