## **Developments, Activities and Achievements** 

The activities of the trust over the past year pertained to its objectives as set out in the following: 

## 1. **Religious & Cultural Activities** 

The trust was permitted the use of the Noor Masjid mosque at Woodfold Avenue, Manchester by al-Dai al-Mutlaq Syedna Abu Jaffer al-Sadiq Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS. The activities of the trust conformed to 12 broad categories covering the operation of the trust and services to the community, viz: 

1. Umoor Deeniyah – Religious Affairs The trust organised over two hundred religious and social events, some remotely to facilitate those with restricted mobility. Information, learning and guidance was delivered to the community in these programmes, and guest speakers were invited from UK and abroad as appropriate. Funeral service was provided as appropriate. Also, match-making events were held to facilitate matrimony. 

2. Umoor Taalimaiyah – Education Religious and cultural learning was imparted to young children through weekend school by the trust at a cost of over £55,000. In addition, adult learning sessions were also held weekday evenings open to all the members. Some of these were held remotely for convenience. 

3. Umoor Marafiq Burhaniyah – Welfare Efforts were expended to provide help and support to improve living and lifestyle of community members where appropriate. This was achieved through regular get-together and outings for the elderly, targeted support, food hampers, assistance with housing & upliftment, travel and recreation. 

4. Umoor Maaliyah – Finance Annual budget was set and complied with. Finances were controlled to conform to the budget. 

5. Umoor Mawarid Bashariyah – Human Resources The trust relies on volunteers to support its activities. Youngsters and others were motivated to take part in charitable activities through online programmes and training locally and from international platforms. Skills and interests of members were collated to match requirements with skill.

9. Umoor Faiz al-Mawaid al-Burhaniyah – Food hampers This is a scheme whereby all the families of the community are provided evening meals during weekdays throughout the year from the central mosque kitchen. The service has been dedicatedly maintained. 

10. Umoor Iqtesadiyah – Business & Trade Members were encouraged, guided and helped to take up business and entrepreneurship by way of online seminars, interest-free loans and advice from experienced businessmen. Interactive platforms were provided to expand trade.

12. Umoor Sehet – Health Matters 

   - Health and wellbeing post the pandemic took the main focus. The community members were regularly engaged remotely to ensure they remained healthy and safe and followed the advice and guidance to protect themselves. Workshops were held to provide health checks.

Additionally, the trust is actively involved in the upliftment of the locality, and discussions are advancing to create a garden next to the mosque to beautify the area and improve the environment.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’  RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees of the charity are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the trust and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period.  In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

The trustees are responsible also for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the trust and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the charity law.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ANJUMAN-E-HAMIDI (MANCHESTER)** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on the pages 8 to 14. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity commission under section 145(5)(a) of the Charities Act 2011: and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiners’ report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The 

procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view,,’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiners’ statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention: 

1. Which give me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

- To keep accounting records in accordance with S.130 of the Charities Act 2011: and 

- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 have not been met; or 

2. To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
