Financial Review:
During the year, the charity received £152,516.00 by the way of public donations and fees from
religious classes. The net movement of funds show a surplus of £29.308.00 which has been added to
the reserves, brought forward from previous years of £452,377.00. End financial year current
reserve is £481,685.00.
The Trustees believe that the charity should hold financial reserves because it is mostly dependent
on its income from local worshippers. As these funds may be subject to fluctuation from time to
time the Trustees have decided to set a level of reserves which equate in value to approximately 6
months expenditure which the Trustees have estimated will be approximately £40,000 primarily
used for ongoing current activities such as staffing costs of the organisation and further
improvements in relation to the sites building works and maintenance costs. In view that the
purpose of the reserves is to meet immediate shortfalls in funding, the Trustees have decided that it
is appropriate that the reserves shown in the balance sheet are represented by funds held in short
term deposits and current bank accounts.
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have reviewed
ways in generating income and capital growth to meet their requirements.
Plans for the future
eriods
The charity wi51 continue with the current activities and has obtained substantial donations for
202312024.
The key future plans are:
a) To continue to help and give religious guidance for the community.
b} To continue to promote good relations with all other ethnic minorities.
c) To ensure that all the remaining building works are completed successfully within
the allowed timescales.
d} To continue to build and encourage community access to the education facilities.
e) To encourage participation from women to engage in Arabic classes.
f) To introduce additional classes for children up to GCSE level.

Ob'ectives and Activities
The Charity's objectives are for the benefit of the general public resident in and visiting Bedford (the
area of benefit), in particular but not exclusively those people who are of Muslim faith, by:
The advancement of the Religious of Islam guided by the Quran and Sunnah;
The relief of poverty by providing advice, representation, counselling, translating
and interpreting services and other assistance in matters such as asylum,
immigration, money, debts, welfare benefits, housing, health, education,
training, and employment;
The promotion of good race and community relations with other ethnic
communities in the area of benefit.
To assist in funeral arrangements for families of deceased worshipers.
The main objective for the year was the promotion and appreciation of the Islamic faith and the
provision of facilities of education to the wider community especially the younger generation,
offering opportunities in education programmes such as children's classes/weekend classes and
Hafizi classes.
The charity is very involved in the community and is dependent on the voluntary help from the local
residents who support the Masjid by not only voluntary service such as maintenance and repair work
to the centre but by donations to help promote its objectives.

consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking 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 accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention,
l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect the trustees
have not met the requirements to ensure that:
.proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act>,. and
.accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Act; or
