Kokni Community Luton 2/3 Bury Park Estate Bury Park Road Luton, Beds LU1 1HB
## **2024 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT: KOKNI COMMUNITY LUTON, CHARITY NUMBER: 1079404.**
Our primary activity has been to raise funds to support the running of our mosque, funding needy causes in UK and some communities abroad affected by disasters. We have also raised funds to improve security around our building and car park – an issue which is proving challenging.
Our mosque continues to hold prayers - 5 times a day. In addition, we continue to offer Islamic studies classes for children, which are regularly oversubscribed. We also introduced Fiqh (the theory or philosophy of Islamic law) classes after Friday evening (Maghrib) prayers. During Ramadan, we supported vulnerable women in partnership with local community support agencies, such as Victim Support and Women’s Aid.
We have also held events, such as Healthy Living Day and let other organisations, such as local GP surgeries to host events to encourage people to take care of their health.
The cost of living crisis has impacted us considerably as it has other charities, where we have been forced to curtail some activities which we would want to hold – and also energy costs have put pressure on our budget.
Our Women’s Affairs group held various events:
- Ladies, Eid Afternoon Tea
- Ladies Health & Wellbeing.
- Funeral (Janazah) orientation classes for ladies
- Henna workshop & other skills
Our Sports and Recreation group organised various activities and outings:
- Men’s Football (Sunday)
- Badminton
- Trip to Kew Gardens
- Monthly swimming (Men)
- Women’s Netball
Our youth group organised:
- Teddy Bears Picnic at Stockwood Park
- Quiz Day for Parents and Children
Our retired and senior community members have also benefited from the use of our facilities, organizing regular get togethers including lunches and talks on a variety of subjects including financial advice.

Looking ahead to 2025, we will continue with the above activities and try to raise the bar with more events, driven by a new committee elected this year.
