This has been done through consultation of the Board of Trustees and approval of the Charity Commission. ## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. Any new appointments are carefully selected through a network of people who have demonstrated considerable experience and commitment to the advancement of the Islamic religion. Recruitment of trustees is undertaken by way of majority voting. ## **Induction and training of trustees** Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the trust deed and a guide to the policies and procedures of the charity. A number of publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. ## **Risk management** The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed to and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to these risks. **Islamic Dawah Centre International Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 August 2024** ## **Objectives and activities** ## **Our Aims** The objects of the charity are set out in the charity’s trust deed and are summarised as follows: - To advance the education of the public in the teachings and culture of the Islamic faith primarily but not exclusively through the provision of information and educational literature and materials. ## **Our Objectives** Our objectives are to promote the pure and pristine message of Islam in order to counter the ever-increasing misunderstanding and misconceptions about Islam and to help build and promote an inclusive and cohesive society built on mutual respect and understanding. 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 particularly 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 2024** ## **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 with 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 2024** ## **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). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 the 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 business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, 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 taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees for the purposes of charity law who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
