TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

USMANI MOSQUE

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our objectives are set to reflect our faith and community aims. Each year our trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

The principal activities of Usmani Mosque in the year under review were those of the registered charity and its principal object remain to provide after-school Islamic education for 7-16 years old in accordance with Sunni Muslim faith and to provide a facility where Muslims can worship.

The charity will provide a community centre for social activity with the younger generation in mind. The centre will also provide for the needs of the older generation. The charity's aim is to develop life long leisure interests and help build self confidence and a desire to contribute to the community.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Religious and Community activities

Our Mosque provides a centre for our prayers and worship and for the activities associated with our faith. Our community hall provides a valuable recreational resource to all in our local community. During the year under review, we offered a range of religious and community services and activities including:

Prayers: The Mosque is open all day for daily and Friday prayers. During the week we have over 100 people who regularly attend daily prayers and over 500 who regularly attend Friday prayers.

Festivals: The Mosque offers food during Ramadan for those attending our Mosque who wish to break their fast together as well as Eid is also celebrated at Mosque.

Funeral facilities: The Mosque provides a complete funeral service in line with the teachings of Islam. We relieve the deceased's bereaved relatives of the burden of organising burials.

Nikkah (Islamic Marriage): The Mosque provides Muslim couples with an appropriate location for their Nikkah. Over 2 couples were married at the mosque in the year.

Hifz classes: Memorisation of the Qur'an is considered an important element of religious education and training. We continue to provide this facility for the young people in the Mosque. We are pleased this programme which continues to run successfully with over 23 young people regularly attending these classes.

Hall facilities: Our hall is available for use by local groups and organisations. Local charities are also encouraged to make use of our hall. When hall facilities are not required for community use they are available for hire on commercial terms.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year, incoming resources have decreased to £204,035 (2019: £372,581) whereas resources expended have decreased to £126,328 (2019: £126,642) thus resulting in a surplus for the year of £77,707 (2019: £245,939).

Voluntary income has decreased to £127,186 (2019: £273,685). Madrassa fees has decreased to £35,199 (2019: £89,346) due to covid during the year.

The mosque collected £764 in the form of Zakaat donations and distributed £1,500 of this amount to charitable organisations.

Reserves policy

The trustees have adopted a reserves policy of retaining unrestricted reserves equivalent to one year expenditure expected to incur on running the mosque whilst ensuring funds are earmarked towards the cost of constructing new Madrassa building.

The construction of new madressa building is expected to cost a significant amount of money and the charity has already spent £280,000 towards the construction during the year.

At present Usmani Mosque prayer hall and the community hall are being used to teach around 350 children. The new building will accommodate all the children and free up the space currently being utilised in the prayer and community halls.

FUTURE PLANS

The trustees acquired a building for approximately £276,000 in 2018 to meet increased demand for madressa. The building has since been demolished and construction work commenced for new madressa building. The trustees anticipate total cost of construction to be in the region of £800,000 to £850,000.

The board is looking at ways of increasing donation income as well as borrowing more interest free loans from individuals to be able to facilitate the work needed to the new madrassa building.

Future plans are to increase the number of new applicants for the madrassa after the project is fully complete and to pay off the interest free loans given by the muslim community.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Usmani Mosque (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost

MARKET VALUES OF LAND AND BUILDINGS

The charity's freehold land and buildings are used solely for charitable purposes. In the opinion of the trustees the market value of the land and buildings of the charity exceeds the amount shown on the balance sheet, but they do not consider the expense of a professional valuation to be justified.

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
