The trustees shall hold the trust fund and its income upon trust to apply them to: 1. To provide the benefit of the inhabitants and in particular the Muslim children and young people who reside in communities within the UK and overseas and the neighborhoods, thereof without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinion, by associating together the inhabitants and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance the Muslim faith, advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions for the said inhabitants; 2. To establish schools to teach children of ethnic minorities their mother tongue and culture, and help them with curriculum education; 3.

If this is conservatively valued at £14 an hour the volunteer effort amounts to over £140,000. 4 Noor Trust **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENTS** ## **Trustees' responsibilities statement** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources 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 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; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments, which is included at market value. ## **Going Concern** No material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exist. ## (b) **Incoming resources** All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. ## (c) **Resources expended** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. ## (d) **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Tangible fixed assets costing more than £250 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: |Project and office equipment|over 5 years| |---|---| |Computer equipment|over 3 years| |Equipment held under finance leases|over the life of the lease| |Buildings|over 50 years| ## (e) ## **Finance and operating leases** Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred. Assets purchased under finance lease are capitalised as fixed assets. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written-off to the SOFA over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge. ## (f) **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## (g) **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can only be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes with objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 8 Noor Trust ## **Notes forming part of the financial statements - Continued for the year ended 31 July 2025** |2.|**Donations and gift**||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||**31/07/25**|**31/07/24**| |||||£|£| ||Donations|||317,590

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources 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 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; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments, which is included at market value. ## **Going Concern** No material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exist. ## (b) **Incoming resources** All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. ## (c) **Resources expended** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. ## (d) **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Tangible fixed assets costing more than £250 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: |Project and office equipment|over 5 years| |---|---| |Computer equipment|over 3 years| |Equipment held under finance leases|over the life of the lease| |Buildings|over 50 years| ## (e) ## **Finance and operating leases** Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred. Assets purchased under finance lease are capitalised as fixed assets. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written-off to the SOFA over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge. ## (f) **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## (g) **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can only be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes with objects of the charity.
