Maahadus Shuhada Trust Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2023
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Location:
The charity is based in the beautiful vibrant city of Preston, Lancashire. This property itself is close to the Preston North End Football ground, Moor Park, University Of Central Lancashire and Deepdale Retail Park.
The building is used for five times daily prayers, Friday prayers, Eid prayers and for other religious activities such as marriage ceromonies and Quranic recitals. The building caters for muslims from the Deepdale area of Preston, however, many muslims from around Preston come to use the facilities. Many visitors and guests from other parts of the UK also use the prayer facilties for their five times daily prayers when visiting Preston. The building caters for mulsim worshippers from different backgrounds, ethnicities and it holds lectures for men and women alike.
The institution has strong links with many local primary schools and high schools, and works very well with other organisations at community level.
Objectives and aims:
The main objective being is to promote good moral standards and spiritual guidance, within the community and to create harmony within a multi-cultural society. The day to day operations of the charity is managed by the trustees as set out in the Trust Deed.
Our aim is to provide a prayer facility where fellow Muslims can worship peacefully. This would be for all the inhabitants of Preston and the surrounding areas. Our long-term ambition is to help build community relations and also to help make the area peaceful, vibrant and harmonious.
Objectives and aims
The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities:
Mahadus Shuhada was established with principal objectives to create harmony within the community and carries out a range of activities for the benefit of worshippers within the community. The activities undertaken at the charity are mainly prayers, spiritual lectures, youth projects, community cohesion work etc. Fun raising also takes place for various local, national and world charities.
The trustees would like to than everyone for all that they have done over the last year during the continued Covid crisis and recognise just how strenuous and demanding it has been. The committment, determination and agility that everyone has shown during the last exhausting year has been nothing short of astonishing.
It has been really heart-warming to see how much everyone has worked together as a community and how we have genuinely embedded the values of inclusivity, openess, fairness, respect and caring that are the pillars of our faith.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approx 12 months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. Unrestricted funds are maintained at above this level throughout the year.
Principal funding sources:
The principal funding source remains donations from the community. This financial years donations has decreased substantially compared to previous years as people during covid stayed in (no hiolidays etc) and were generous with their donations . All expenses remain pretty consistent to previous years besides rates which went down considerably as wash room facilities was closed during covid. The institution continues to have a sound financial platform for future progress and development.
Future developments:
The mosque has inadequate spacing for youth and adult activities, therefore the future plan is to extend the building to accommodate further activities for the youth and adults.
