We continue dealing with the fall out of the Covid-19 Pandemic in terms of attendance to the Mosque, attendance at Madrassah and booking of hall for weddings. Many attendees continue staying at home and utilising the streaming facilities; there has been no significant change. The work of LICS continues with the President and Trustees attending several initiatives working in partnership in person and online with the NHS, London Borough Haringey, Metropolitan Police, Age Concern, Faith Groups, Mosques, Civic events, and other agencies, Trustees, Volunteer. Helpers, members, local brothers, and Sisters make positive efforts by working with all communities utilising various modes of communication and support. LICS continues to be a role model for others to follow. LICS continue to advocate on behalf of familieslindividuals with the local authority, housing, or benefits agencies to ensure a successfvl outcome. This work is built on and continues from year to year. Changes in different ways of working and engaging continue, in the last two years we had to find other ways of connecting with members and the community as we faced a devastating period due to the pandemic. Recovery has been slow as people are hesitant in attending events for fear of catching covid or other infections. This affects income generating methods such as lettings or donations for use of the wedding facilities. LICS are represented on Faith Groups, London Faith & Beliefs Forum, SACRE, the Independent Advisory Board [Police], and the Community Health Advisory Board. Representatives of LICS attend many meetings to encourage building bridges in our community and hoping to impact seriCe delivery from all agencies for our diverse community. LICS maintained yearly contracts for CCTV, PA system, Lift, fire safety and alarms, air conditioning. and gas safety. In addition repairs are carried out as and when necessary and the centre was regularly 'fogged' to contain infection, this has been continued quarterly. MEETINGSIMEMBERSHIP There are 12 Trustees currently. Membership donations continue to be sporadic as many members were unable to send their contributions or made membership payments online or on terminals. Trustees agreed to continue 2019-2020 as members for 2023-2024 because of the pandemic. Membership fees will be reinstated for the year 2024-2025 Secretary's Report 23-24

LICS continue to welcome 60 Primary and Secondary Schools to visit the Mosque where interactive Islamic facts are given in addition to a tour of the Mosque. Many children enjoy and participate in the Q&A sessions. LICS also held a Holocaust Memorial Educational Sesslon where 120 children attended the Mosque along with Multi Faith Members, Police, and community members. Eden Jewish School and Ashmole Primary attended the session where they learnt about the Holocaust and there was also an exhibition showing the Muslim families and Imams who protected and saved many of the Jewish families. OUR IMAMS Brother Abdul Kadir is LICS head Imam who provide cover for three and a half days per week. Since Imam Mushtaq left LICS we have had difficulties engaging another Imam. LICS continues to explore obtaining this service in the future. Helpers Brahim and Omar provide and monitor access to services run by LICS such as opening and closing the Mosque and safety, security aspects of the charity's building. The Mosque continues to be an asset within our local community. LICS encourages non- Muslims to visit the Mosque when it is allawed, and we continue to distribute free copies of the Holy Quran and other related publications. The Mosque continues to welcome and visit different faith groups. We have all worked hard to establish it and most importantly it is a place where we and our families belong - I pray that Almighty Allah will bless, guide, and protect us all and that He will bring us closer to Him.

LONDON ISLAMIC CULTURAL SOCIETY Treasurer's Re ort It is with great pleasure that I present this report and accounts of the London Islamic Cultural Society for the year ended 31, March 2024. The nett surplus of £35,047 makes this a very successful year. With out the dedication and support of our steadfast members and supporters of the LICS it would not have been possible to achieve such a successful year. The main points in the accounts are l. Gift Aid £123,600 gifted during the year. A further amount of £30,900 is to b¢ reclaimed from the Inland Revenue being basic rdte tax paid on the amount gifted. 2. De reeiation £3,824. This is fixtures and equipment as shown in the balance sheet plus additions of £950 being d¢pr¢ciated at 20 % per annum on a rcducing balance. 3. Re airs and Renewals - £13,950 electricals had to be updated and brought up to code which resulted in the addition cost. 4. PA and CCTV- £17,052. The PA system had to be updated and this resulted in most of the cost. 5. Maintenance buildin £17,635 most of the internal paint was pale and dated and had to be repainted, resulting in the higher figure. The Mosque cultural centre may be free of debt but we still need to raise funds to pay for the upkeep and the repairs and maintenance of the centr¢. In order to maximise your donations I would like to remind you of the most efficient ways of making donations are. Gift Aid This is the easiest and most popular way for tax payers to make payments io Lharities. A donor makes payment (s) to the charity.. for each £1 donated the charily can reclaim from the Inland Revenue 25p. The government has made this very simple (a) No forn]s to fill in. (b) No minimum amount. All that is needed is for the donor to be a lax payer and requesting that their donation be treated as gift Aid. Roll Givin Employers are allowed to run these schemes under which an employee can make donations to a charity Ot"their choice. The donation is deducted from your pay and passed to the charity by your employer. PAYE is calculated oli your salary after making the deduction so that you are etTectiv¢ly getting immediate tax relief on the donation at your highest tax rate. Peopl¢ who complete Self Assessment Tax returns will be able to nominate a charity to receive all or part of any repaymeni due to them. The donation will be paid direct to the Charity Bank account and tax will be paid without the charily having to make a claim. Your donations to various charities throughout the year helped many homeless and starving people in various countries. We are please to announce that £51,500 was given to countries of your choice. May Allah reward you all and make it possiblc for you to continu¢ h¢lping thc less fortunate, Th¢ Trustees would like to thank all brothers and sisters for their dedication and support. May Allah guide us all and give us the strength and wisdom so that we may continue our work for the furth¢rance of Islam and working7 Wlth the community. Leonard H Ali Treasurer September 2024
