## **MESSAGE** 

## Dear Friends, Assalamu Alaykum, 

Each year, I am moved by your generosity and kindness towards vulnerable communities. The last year has been incredibly challenging, and hardship and loss has affected everybody. Despite this, you have been more giving than ever, and it has been an honour to facilitate your donations and uplift communities. 

Together, we have supported more than 1.7 million people in need during the past year, and we are so grateful for your commitment and trust. 

This annual report highlights some of our recent achievements and activities and also documents our financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020. I hope you enjoy browsing through this brochure, bringing to light the incredible work that would not be possible without you.

## **Recruiting and Appointing Trustees**

Project grant making is managed according to a designated process which is documented in our “Operational Risk-Management Framework”. We aim to treat all grant applications professionally, equally and fairly. We make the final decision as to eligibility to receive a grant, at our discretion.

## **OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The objects of the charity are set out below: 

**1.** To relieve poverty, distress and suffering amongst people in any part of the world [including starvation, sickness, or any physical disability or affliction] primarily, but not exclusively, when arising from any public calamity [including famine, earthquake, pestilence, war or civil disturbance]. 

**2.** To advance education in the United Kingdom, in particular [but not exclusively] the teaching of Islamic studies, for the benefit of the people of the Islamic faith. 

Our **Vision 2023** strategic plan outlines the specific areas where we, as Muslim Charity, will focus over the coming years to contribute to our global mission. It’s a bold ambition and there is much work to do. We will work alongside the families, communities, volunteers, supporters, and in partnership with others who share our ambitions, to create significant, meaningful and much-needed change. **Vision 2023** is an ambitious but realistic strategic plan which identifies five Operational Goals, defines specific objectives and outlines a set of workstreams we will undertake with our staff, supporters and partners. We want to harness the passion, commitment and talent of our trustees, staff, networks, beneficiaries and volunteers to create and define an effective way of encouraging philanthropy to support people in need within the UK and around the world.

In 2017, an increase in violence in the Rakhine state, Burma, forced over 870,000 Rohingyas to flee their homes, many of them women and children. Many fled to neighbouring Bangladesh to seek safety, and have since been living as refugees in overcrowded, unsanitary, temporary camps with a lack of food, clean water and healthcare. 

Muslim Charity has been supporting Rohingya refugees since 2017. We have built 345 shelters for refugee families, a child-friendly centre and 65 toilets and shower rooms. We have distributed 3,256 food packs, 1,700 winter packs, 1,656 household kits and 1,120 dignity kits. We have built three large water reservoir systems, dug 28 deep water wells and provided 2 ambulances.

10 years of war in Syria has caused the world’s largest refugee crisis. There are 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon, 88% of whom are living below the poverty line. Lebanon has been facing a deep financial crisis since 2019. This has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and, in August 2020, the devastating explosion in the Beirut port.

EMERGENCIES 

**13** 



The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health and the economy. The virus has made those already vulnerable, even more so, and impoverished communities worldwide have struggled to access food and stay healthy. 

Over a million people have died, and this number will continue to rise. 

During the pandemic, Muslim Charity has supported impoverished communities with food and hygiene kits, and supported restaurants in the UK to provide food to the vulnerable. 

We have helped over 57,000 people in Lebanon, Bangladesh, Yemen, Pakistan, Gaza and the UK.

EMERGENCIES 

**15** 



For countless families living in poverty around the world, winter is nothing but a fight for survival. Without stable shelter, good food or warm clothing, countless people fear they may not survive. The lack of healthcare for impoverished people and refugees means even a cold could be fatal. 

Over last winter, Muslim Charity supported 11,879 people across six countries with nutritious food, warm clothing, heating and fuel. We provided winter aid to thousands of people in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Yemen, Lebanon, Gaza and the UK.

EMERGENCIES 

**17** 



## **RESCUE A CHILD** 

There are approximately 150 million children living on the streets worldwide. They are living in fear, without protection, food or hope for their futures. They are at huge risk of exploitation, abuse and forced labour. 

In Bangladesh, we rescue street children, and work to reunite them with their families. If this is not possible, we refer them to permanent shelters offering safety and protection, alongside the ability to go to school.

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD 



**£100** 

Rescue four children from the streets. 

**£25** Rescue a child from the streets. **£300** Rescue a child every month. 

**(or £25 per month)** 

Similarly, in Pakistan we run child protection centers which offer safety and education, as well as working with their families. 

We have rescued 1,361 street children in Bangladesh, and last year alone, 88 children were reunited with their families. 

In Pakistan, we have provided informal education and psycho-social support to over 500 children. Last year alone, 69 were reunited with their families and 48 children with no traceable family were referred to government institutions.

## **SUPPORTING SPECIAL CHILDREN** 

Unfortunately, children with disabilities are more at risk of abuse, exclusion and discrimination. 150 million children worldwide suffer from a physical or mental disability and 90% of disabled children worldwide are not in school. 

Disabled children from poor families are particularly vulnerable, as they lack the understanding and means to give them the care they need. They are further excluded from society.

Support a child **£60** with special needs for 2 months. 

Support 2 children **£120** with special needs for 2 months. 

Support 5 children **£300** with special needs for 2 months. 

Muslim Charity supports children with special needs in Karachi and Kharian, Pakistan. We are supporting a centre for special needs children in Karachi, where 50 children have benefited from special education, medical and psycho-social rehabilitation and physiotherapy sessions. We have provided transportation to ensure that children are able to attend. In Kharian, we supported the construction of a Rehabilitation Centre and Blind School, and sponsor children on a one-to-one basis.

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD 



## **ORPHAN SPONSORSHIP** 

Losing one or both parents at a young age is difficult for any child, and especially so for those living in poverty. There are approximately 140 million orphans around the world, many of whom have had to stop going to school. Without a breadwinner, many poor families are unable to provide effectively for their children. 

Our orphan sponsorship programme provides children with access to education, healthcare and a nurturing environment. Our one-to-one model gives children a sense of independence and dignity. 

Since 2012, we have been sponsoring 1,244 orphans in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Lebanon, Gaza, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Nepal on a one-to-one basis. Last year alone, we have supported 282 children. 

Sponsor an **£360** orphan. 

**(or £30 per month)** 



Our Hafiz Sponsorship programme helps ensure children living in poverty are able to connect with their faith and memorize the holy Qur’an. Many children from poor families do not have this opportunity, and many do not go to school at all. 

Our programme provides children with an ideal learning environment with qualified teachers of the Qur’an, food, health checks and clothing during their period of Hifz education. 

Since 2012, we have supported 723 children memorise the Qur’an in Pakistan, Somalia, Myanmar and Nepal.

**(or £840 per month)** 

## **ADOPT A SCHOOL** 

Approximately 258 million young people do not go to school around the world. Many families cannot afford to send their children to school, and in many areas school structures are poor or unsafe without basic facilities, which prevents parents from enrolling their children. 

Muslim Charity’s Adopt a School project renovates and rebuilds public schools and madrassahs across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Kenya, Gambia, Uganda and Somalia. 

Since 2015, 21,000 children have benefited from the renovation of 87 schools and madrassahs. Last year alone, we rebuilt 4 schools in Bangladesh, 3 schools and 4 madrassahs in Kenya, 4 madrassahs in Gambia and 19 madrassahs in Somalia.

## **HOMES FOR THE ZAKAT ELIGIBLE** 

We believe Zakat can be used for sustainable, long-lasting change for families and communities. Our Homes for the Zakat Eligible project takes Zakat one step further, and provides decent housing facilities offering protection and a safe space to call home for years to come. 

The aim of this project is to support families to become self-reliant and live in security. 

In the year 2020-21 we have built 16 houses for Zakat eligible families in Pakistan and Bangladesh. 

**26** 

ZAKAT 



## **ZAKAT FOR BUSINESS STARTUPS** 

We help vulnerable families in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Yemen establish their own businesses based on their skills and local context. 

In this way, we help families create reliable income for the long-term. Over the past year, we have focused on supporting women with orphan children or disabled family members. 

In the year 2020-21 we provided 12 three-wheeler vehicles in Pakistan and Bangladesh for different enterprises including pick and drop services, food trucks or used as vans for fruitsellers. We have setup 21 grocery shops in Pakistan and Yemen, and provided 12 hand carts. 

The majority of our beneficiaries in Yemen are IDPs living in camps, and this small intervention provided them enough support to become independent in their lives.

## **USE OUR ZAKAT CALCULATOR** 

Fulfilling the pillar of Islam, Zakat, is one of the most important things we as Muslims do each year. It is vital we understand if we need to pay Zakat, how much to pay, and where we can pay it. 

Our Zakat Calculator provides a simple and easy way for you to work out how much Zakat you need to pay. All you need to do is enter your information into our calculator, and it takes away the stress and hassle and works out exactly how much you need to pay, and what great things your Zakat can achieve.

Through our Sadaqah Jariyah projects, we are able to support communities living in poverty in hard-to-reach areas. These projects include giving access to clean drinking water by installing hand pumps, water wells and solar water wells. 

We build mosques in rural communities to enrich their deep love for Islam, and help children flourish by renovating schools. 

Your Sadaqah Jariyah donations facilitate long-term change, changing the lives of communities for the better, bringing you ongoing reward in this life and the next.

Safe delivery of **£150** a newborn. 

## **SAFE DELIVERY** 

Worldwide, a woman dies from pregnancy-related complications or during childbirth every 2 minutes. At least 7,000 stillbirths occur every day. Most deaths of babies and mothers are due to the lack of medical support and clean environments. 

Muslim Charity is supporting hospitals in Pakistan to offer safe deliveries and medical care for expectant mothers and babies. 

We supported the safe delivery of 1,181 newborn babies last year, and treated a further 30,000 patients. 

**36** 

HONOURING OUR MOTHERS 



Infant **£2500** incubator. 

**(or £210 per month)** 

## **INFANT INCUBATORS** 

Every year, 15 million babies are born premature, and over 1 million do not survive. 75% of these deaths are preventable with simple cost-effective interventions. 

Since 2013, we have worked with hospitals across the most vulnerable areas of Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Lebanon, Kenya and Yemen and provided 147 neonatal incubators helping save the lives of approximately 7,000 premature babies each year. 

Last year alone we delivered 19 incubators.

## **AMBULANCES** 

In times of need, ambulances can save lives. They help ensure those in need of medical attention reach hospital quickly, and this can truly save lives. However, this is often only a dream in many impoverished communities, and many people have lost loved ones, when this could have been easily prevented. 

Over the past few years, we have provided 26 ambulances across Pakistan, Bangladesh and Somalia. Each ambulance is fully equipped and comes with ventilation equipment, fixed and portable oxygen apparatus, obstetrical kits, immobilisation devices (such as wheelchairs and stretchers), bandages and emergency kits as well as the standard equipment needed for a trained paramedic. 

Our ambulances have helped 9,000 people last year.

790 million people lack access to clean drinking water. Millions are forced to drink dirty, unsafe water that could kill them. Women and children are forced to walk miles each day on dangerous terrain to fetch clean water. This denies children access to education and affects the entire family. 

Our water projects are designed to provide solutions to water shortages and give communities clean water for years to come. We also work to improve hygiene and sanitation, and educate communities on best health and hygiene practices.

## **WATER HAND PUMPS** 

A hand pump is a small but efficient mechanism which can support a household or a small communal area with access to clean drinking water. Currently we are supporting the installation of water hand pumps in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Hand pumps provide households with as much water as they need each day for drinking, cleaning and cooking. 

So far, we have installed 15,000 water hand pumps, benefiting 443,960 vulnerable people.

## **WATER WELLS** 

Water wells can support entire communities as they can extract large volumes of water over a long period of time. 

Currently we are supporting the installation of water wells in Pakistan and Bangladesh and in Africa we support the installation of water wells in communities in Kenya and Somalia. 

So far, Muslim Charity has facilitated the installation of 979 water wells, benefiting an estimated 235,780 beneficiaries and counting. Last year we built 82 water wells.

## **WATER TANKERS** 

Disasters such as earthquakes can destroy or contaminate water supplies, leaving people in urgent need of clean drinking water. Similarly, war can force people to flee their homes into camps without water supply systems. In these cases, water tankers are the best way for people to access water. 

In Gaza less than 4% of fresh water is drinkable and decades of war has left people displaced and without income. Many are forced to drink the contaminated water. 

We are distributing water in water tankers to people in the IDP camps in Yemen, refugees in Gaza, and people living in the desert regions of Somalia. 

Last year, we provided 10,000 displaced Yemenis with clean water. We have supplied clean drinking water to households, schools and hospitals in Gaza, reaching approximately 10,000 people.

## **SOLAR WATER WELLS** 

In areas facing drought and extreme water scarcity, environmentally-friendly and sustainable solar powered electric pumps provide a great long-term solution. They have minimum running costs after installation, which means they are able to provide communities with clean water for generations to come. 

Installing a Solar Water Well is a fantastic Sadaqah Jariyah, providing ongoing reward for you, and providing an entire community with a regular and large supply of clean water for all their needs, harvesting and animals.

A Masjid is the heart of any Muslim community. It allows people to gather for prayer and come together in celebration and mourning. It is a centre of learning for people of all ages. 

In deprived communities these communal centres, due to their very limited resources are often non-existent or built from a temporary structure with little protection from the scorching sun.

## **ISLAMIC WILLS** 

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him.” (Bukhari) 

As a Muslim, you must distribute your wealth after you die according to the Shariah (Islamic law). If you live in the UK, then having a Will is a must. This is because if you die without one, your assets will be distributed according to domestic law, not Islamic law. 

**52** 

ISLAMIC WILLS 



This is also a great opportunity to leave a legacy in your name. As a Muslim you can allocate up to one third of your estate towards a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuing charity) that will benefit you in the next life. Just as Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him.” (Muslim) 

You need to have a Will that complies with both English law and Islamic law in order for it to be both valid in the UK and in accordance with Islam.

## **QURBANI** 

Each year, Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Adha by sacrificing halal animals, commemorating the virtuous sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim. Muslim Charity has been doing Qurbani on behalf of its donors for more than two decades whereby the meat from the sacrificed animals is distributed to poor and needy communities worldwide. 

Last year we implemented 18,931 Qurbanis which fed approximately 336,450 individuals in 16 countries around the world. For many of these people, this is the only meat they have eaten all year.

## **AQIQAH AND ANIMAL SACRIFICE** 

Muslim Charity can support donors to offer their animal sacrifices, whether that is in the form Aqiqah (sacrifice in gratitude on the birth of a child) or Sadaqah. 

Once the goat or sheep has been sacrificed, the meat is distributed amongst poor and vulnerable community members, where they get an opportunity to cook nutritional meals for their families. 

Last year, we facilitated 443 animal sacrifices in Pakistan and Somalia benefiting an estimated 10,632 people.

## **FIDYAH AND KAFFARAH** 

## Fidyah 

There are many reasons why a Muslim worshipper might be unable to fast during the month of Ramadan; they may be unwell, pregnant or travelling. In these cases they must compensate by feeding a poor person for each day of fasting that they missed throughout the month of Ramadan. This practice is known as Fidyah and is calculated according to the average cost of two meals a day. 

In the United Kingdom, Fidyah is calculated at £5 per day (£150 for the full month of Ramadan). 

## 

If someone intentionally misses or breaks a fast with no valid reason then they must compensate for this in one of two ways. They must either fast for 60 days or, if they are unable to do so, they should feed 60 poor people with two meals for one day. This practice is known as Kaffarah and is calculated according to the average cost of two meals a day. 

In the United Kingdom, we have estimated the total cost of Kaffarah to be £300 per missed fast.

We offer support to help them integrate into society and mainstream education. 

Muslim Charity has delivered a new infant incubator to Aden General Hospital and two incubators to Al-Gamhori Hospital, in war-torn Yemen to help increase the survival rate of expectant mothers and babies amidst famine, pandemic and conflict.

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** ESS 

**In the years ahead, we aim to continue the organisation’s growth and impact by focusing the key operational goals that are outlined in our Vision 2023 strategic plan:** 

## **Operational Goal 1: Investing in People** 

## **Operational Goal 3: Income Strategy** 

We depend on our trustees, staff and volunteers and we must value, understand and inspire them. For people to be able to deliver the **Vision 2023** strategic plan, Muslim Charity will be an agile, flexible organisation with skilled and motivated trustees, staff and volunteers. 

## **Operational Goal 2: Strengthening Accountability** 

Muslim Charity’s **Vision 2023** will best be realised by being more accountable in the ways we govern ourselves and treat each other. Accountability, both to the communities living in poverty and to our supporters, donors and other external stakeholders, is an ethical and effective basis for our relationships and will contribute significantly to greater organisational impact and trust. 

There is huge potential for fundraising success in the short and long terms if we build on the success of our brand identity and remain honest and true to our values. This will require entry to new markets, increased networking and innovation with affiliates and encouraging and empowering our volunteer groups in order to create a bigger impact to the lives of the needy that we serve. This will secure more and larger revenues from institutional donors and greater net income from individual supporters; and will strengthen individual affiliates and provide the right balance of flexible resources required to achieve our organisational objectives. 

**68** 

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE 



## **Operational Goal 4: Improved Governance and Development of Operational Structure** 

The implementation of **Vision 2023** requires provision of adequate resources, vertical and horizontal approaches to coordinate and bridge the departments along with building alliances with external stakeholders. 

## **Operational Goal 5: Improved Process and Systems** 

Through our **Vision 2023** strategic plan we aim to build strong financial, administration, risk management and IT systems in order to bring about positive change and make a greater impact to the people and communities we serve around the world. 



## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** EN 

**The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting policies as set out in the financial statements.** 

**No material uncertainties that may cast a doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern have been identified by the trustees.** 

## **Income** 

The total income for the year was £4.09 million. This is an increase of around £1.59 million from the previous year’s income of £2.50 million. The increased donations from our supporters reflects our unshakeable commitment to supporting vulnerable and needy communities around the world and the trust placed in us by our supporters and donors. 

In terms of our annual fundraising calendar, we received increased activity and donations during the periods of Ramadan and almost doubled the levels of income during our hugely successful Qurbani campaign prior to Eid-ul-Adha in 2020. The increased resources enabled us to make a positive difference to the lives of more needy families and communities than the year before. 

In comparison to the year before, we have observed changing trends in donor behavior particularly in relation to mediums of donating, such as the reduction of donations being received by traditional forms such as cheque and telephone donations to an increase in donations received through our website and online mediums. 

The trust we have established with our donors and the feedback we provide to them (both customized individual feedback for specific tangible projects such as our Safe Water programme and collective general feedback) has meant that we have seen repeat donations and new donors come forward to support our interventions for the needy.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 



## **Expenditure** 

Muslim Charity has undertaken a number of measures to improve the productivity of its charitable activities over the years. The most significant shift in this regard was implementing charitable projects through establishing partnerships with bona fide partner organisations. This transition in our project implementation approach has drastically improved the productivity of our charitable activities and at the same time has helped us to bring our overhead costs down. The process we adopt in identifying and working with partner organisations is established in detail in our “Operational Risk-Management Framework”. 

## **Reserve Policy** 

The Trustees recognise the need to hold sufficient reserves to allow protection of core activities in the event of any income shortfalls. The policy aims to have sufficient free reserves to enable Muslim Charity to withstand any unexpected drop in donations and hold at least the equivalent of six months headquarters and other fixed operating costs. The Trustees are pleased they have met their reserve policy and will review it again during 2021. 

The charitable activities undertaken during the year were £3.26 million, which was more than the previous year figure of £3.10 million, revealing our firm and unshakeable commitment of ensuring the end users and beneficiaries benefit from our work thereby causing a greater positive impact in their lives.

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Muslim Charity: Helping the Needy for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. 

## **In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:** 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MUSLIM CHARITY** 

We have audited the financial statements of MUSLIM CHARITY: HELPING THE NEEDY (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 October 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

## **In our opinion the financial statements:** 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 October 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and 

maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. 

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. 

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 



- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS 



## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Eaton Hall, Retford, Nottinghamshire, DN22 0PR. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

## **Incoming resources** 

Voluntary income is derived by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when Muslim Charity: Helping The Needy is entitled to the receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Gifts in Kind which Muslim Charity: Helping The Needy accepts full responsibility for distribution are included in income at their market value when it is distributed and under Charitable Activities at the same value and time. The value of services provided by by volunteers has not been included. 

**Resources expended** Resources expended are recognised in the year in which they are incurred. Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking ; voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

Governance costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. 

**81** 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 



## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **Operating leases** 

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. 

## **Tangible assets** 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Freehold Property - 1% straight line Fixtures and Fittings - 20% reducing balance Motor Vehicles - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 33% reducing balance 

**82** 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 



## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. 

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to 

satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability. 

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. 

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

**83** 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 



Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. 

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. 

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. 

## **4. Limited by guarantee** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. 

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
