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. ## **Use of Volunteers** Volunteers are vital in supporting the work of the charity. Volunteers are involved in assisting the day-to-day running of the charity as well as during the busy period of the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan. All volunteers give their time freely. ## **Activities and achievements** ## **How our activities deliver public benefit** The charity carries out a range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit to the general public. The main achievements of the charity were: - Printing and distribution of The Meaning of the Qur’an; - Printing and distribution of pamphlets and booklets explaining the basic message of Islam from its authentic sources; - Distribution of books on various aspects of the Islamic faith and culture; - Distribution of CDs, DVDs and other electronic and general media on various aspects of the Islamic faith and culture. **Islamic Dawah Centre International** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 August 2022** ## **Financial Review** ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their policy is to hold enough funds to meet four months’ operating costs of the charity. For this purpose, funds of £25,000.00 have been reserved. An additional sum of £20,000.00 has been reserved for the reprinting of the Meaning of the Qur’an and literature which is the core distribution material of the charity. ## **Principal funding sources** The charity’s main source of income is giving. This is through the use of fundraising. The core fundraising activity for the charity is through postal mail shots which are carried out with the help of the charity database which holds the details of donors, customers and those who have registered their interest in the activities of the charity through various means. Mail shots are carried out twice a year, once before the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan and once in the winter period. ## **Investment policy and objectives** The charity has no long-term investments. Our cash reserves are held in money market and deposit accounts. ## **Plans for future periods** We intend to maintain our existing range of activities to further the objectives of the charity. We are committed to helping facilitate the education of the general British public in their understanding of the Islamic faith and culture to help build and promote an inclusive and cohesive society built on mutual respect and understanding. **Islamic Dawah Centre International Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 August 2022** ## **Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities** The charity trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
