Bilal Masjid Trust (Greenford )
Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
History of the Charity:
Bilal Masjid Trust (Greenford), formerly known as Greenford Islamic Welfare Association (GIWA), was established over 20 years ago on 15th April 2003. The primary purpose at the time was to provide a place for daily congregational prayers, Jummah (Friday) prayer and religious classes for Muslim children. However, nobody envisaged at the time that this was the birth of one of the key Masjid in Greenford.
It commenced in 2003 by hiring a small garage behind the shops, which was situated at 1290A Horsenden Lane North. Then as the community grew and the demand increased, some key community Brothers & Sisters took the courage to purchase 2 Shops on Horsenden Lane North in March 2010, where Masjid is established today.
In December 2014, the community took the opportunity to purchase a next-door shop where the existing Masjid is standing on 82-86 Horsenden Lane North. In 2018 - 2019 Masjid went through significant expansion work.
At that time, we rented the properties for our Imams' accommodation and paid thousands of pounds each month on rent. We were actively looking for premises nearby where it is easy for Imam to travel to the Masjid. By the Will of Almighty, one of the upstairs flats came for sale, and Masjid grabbed the opportunity to purchase the flat.
In March 2021, Masjid purchased a flat 88A Horsenden Lane North to accommodate our Imam. And the journey of the Masjid is still continued.

Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024
Conclusion:
The Masjid’s financial review for 2024 reflects our continued commitment to sound financial management, accountability, and transparency. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing support and generous contributions of our community members, which enable us to fulfil our mission and serve the needs of the community effectively. As trustees, we remain dedicated to ensuring the prudent and responsible use of funds , maintaining long-term financial sustainability, and maximising the positive impact of our resources on the wider community.
Future Plans
The Trustees are committed to the ongoing development and growth of Bilal Masjid to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our growing congregation. In 2024, several major improvement projects were successfully completed, including:
1. Facility Upgrades
During the year, several key improvement projects were completed, including the installation of a new signboard , stone cladding on the front pillars, an electric-powered awning at the entrance, and a retractable pergola in the backyard. These upgrades have enhanced the Masjid’s appearance, comfort, and functionality for worshippers.
Looking ahead, we plan to complete the new flooring in the backyard and are actively working towards the purchase of the upstairs flat (82A) . This new space will provide a dedicated area for women to pray and hold their own programs and gatherings. Funds are already being saved to support this important acquisition, which will further strengthen the Masjid’s capacity to serve all members of our community.
2. Youth and Education
Recognising the importance of nurturing the spiritual and personal growth of our youth, Bilal Masjid continued to strengthen its educational and youth engagement programs throughout 2024. A variety of activities, including sports events, trips, Islamic talks, and workshops , were organised to help young people stay connected to the Masjid and develop a deeper understanding of their faith.
The Youth Committee remained active throughout the year, running regular programs such as dodgeball, football, table tennis, archery, and Ramadan iftars , which together attracted strong participation from across the community. In addition, the Madrasah continued to provide high-quality Qur’an and Islamic Studies education to 169 students , supported by 15 dedicated teachers .
Looking ahead, we aim to further expand our educational offerings , including developing structured courses for teenagers and more advanced Islamic learning opportunities for adults. The Trust also remains committed to establishing a dedicated youth and learning space near the Masjid in the coming years, to serve as a centre for both spiritual and personal development.
3. Community Services
Our commitment to serving the community remains central to our mission. Throughout 2024, Bilal Masjid continued to provide social welfare initiatives, including support for vulnerable families and community engagement programs during key Islamic occasions.
During Ramadan 2024, the Masjid hosted daily iftars and dinners for approximately 125 brothers and elders throughout the month. In the last ten nights, suhoor was also provided for those observing i‘tikaf, ensuring they were well cared for during their spiritual retreat.
We are particularly pleased to see the increased participation of women in the spiritual and educational life of the Masjid. Several women’s gatherings and workshops were successfully held this year, including a ladies’ iftar attended by around 100 sisters. As part of our future plans, the Trust is preparing to purchase the upstairs flat (82A), which will be developed into a dedicated prayer and activity area for women, allowing them to worship and host their own programs in comfort and privacy.
Looking forward, Bilal Masjid plans to expand its outreach and welfare projects, including food drives, clothing distribution, and community support programs, especially around Eid and other key times of the year. These efforts reflect our ongoing dedication to inclusivity, compassion, and service to those in need.
Through these initiatives, we continue to ensure that Bilal Masjid remains a centre of learning, worship, and community support — a place where faith is strengthened, families are supported, and future generations are nurtured.

4. Technology Integration
We recognise the vital role of technology in strengthening communication, improving accessibility, and enhancing the overall experience for our congregation. Throughout 2024, Bilal Masjid continued to embrace modern tools and systems to connect more effectively with the community.
Our Masjid app and website have remained essential platforms for providing up-to-date information on prayer times, events, and programs , allowing the community to stay informed and engaged at all times. In addition, our social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (X) continues to grow, serving as a key channel for outreach and announcements.
We have also continued to use the cashless kiosk and card payment terminal at the Masjid, which has greatly simplified the donation process. Approximately 75% of donations are now made through card or digital payments, with the remaining 25% via cash . This ongoing shift towards digital giving has improved transparency, reduced the handling of cash, and increased the efficiency of our financial systems.
Looking ahead, the Trust plans to further integrate digital tools into administrative and communication processes — including enhanced online donation options, improved event registration systems, and better data management — ensuring the Masjid remains accessible, efficient, and future-ready.
Conclusion
Our ongoing plans and achievements reflect Bilal Masjid’s commitment to continuous improvement, community engagement, and service in accordance with the values of Islam.
We are deeply grateful to our community members, volunteers, donors, and trustees for their tireless support and dedication. Together, we continue to build a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-looking institution that serves the spiritual, educational, and social needs of our growing community.

Attendees then took part in a Tasbeeh crafting activity, creating their own prayer beads while enjoying snacks and socialising with friends.
The event attracted around 40 participants and received excellent feedback, with attendees praising the welcoming atmosphere and spiritual focus. This initiative marks an important step in empowering our young sisters to take active roles in organising and leading faith-based programs within the community.
Support & Acknowledgement
Islamic talks remained an integral part of all youth events throughout the year, offering participants valuable insights into Islamic teachings, principles, and values. Meals were provided at all events — from lunches and dinners to iftars and BBQs — helping create a welcoming and inclusive environment.
We acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the organising team, volunteers, guest speakers, and sponsors who contributed to the success of the Youth Activity program. Their dedication and support played a vital role in creating a vibrant and enriching experience for all participants.
To enhance communication and keep participants informed about upcoming events, updates, and important announcements, the Youth Activities page of the Bilal Masjid website was created and diligently maintained. The page, accessible at https://www.bilalmasjid.co.uk/services/youth-activities , served as a central hub for program information, event details, and contact information, allowing participants to stay connected and engaged throughout the year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Bilal Masjid Trust (Greenford) for the Period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bilal Masjid Trust (Greenford)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bilal Masjid Trust (Greenford) (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accoun set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examinatio
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Bilal Masjid Trust (Greenford) Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - 10% on cost Office equipments - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
