Assunah Islamic Centre
Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025
The short term and longer term aims and objectives.
We have placed additional emphasis on raising awareness about the dangers of terrorism, radicalisation, and extremist ideologies. Our work focuses on educating the community particularly young people, about how extremist views are spread, the tactics used in social grooming, and the severe harm these ideologies cause to individuals, families, and society. We consistently reinforce that such beliefs and actions are completely incompatible with the true teachings of Islam. The word Islam itself derives from the Arabic root salaam, meaning peace, underscoring that the religion fundamentally promotes harmony, compassion, and respect for human life.
In addition, we actively encourage our community to support humanitarian causes by fundraising for vulnerable people who are lacking basic necessities such as food, clean water, shelter, and medical care. Our efforts prioritise regions affected by war, conflict, and severe natural disasters, where the need for assistance is most urgent. Through these initiatives, we aim to foster a spirit of generosity, social responsibility, and global solidarity within our community.
The charity's strategies for achieving its aims and objectives in the future.
The community centre actively participates in local civic and community affairs, maintaining strong and positive relationships with key stakeholders such as the Police, the Local Council, and nearby schools. Through this engagement, we contribute to promoting community cohesion, improving local services, and ensuring that the needs and concerns of our beneficiaries are effectively represented.
We are a full member of the Haringey Muslim Network Forum, which enables us to collaborate with other local organisations on shared community priorities. In addition, our membership in the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and the Association of Muslim Schools (AMS) strengthens our ability to access guidance, best practices, and national networks that support our educational, social, and faith-based initiatives.
Looking ahead, we will continue to work closely with these partners and any additional organisations that align with our mission to help us achieve our short- and medium-term objectives. These collaborations will play an essential role in enhancing service delivery, expanding outreach, and ensuring that the charity continues to deliver meaningful and impactful support to the community.

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.
Primary School and Nursery
We continue to prioritise the development of our Primary School and Nursery, ensuring that the facilities, teaching standards, and overall learning environment consistently improve each year. Significant progress has been made in both pupil achievement and staff development, with teachers receiving ongoing training and support to enhance their skills and deliver high-quality education. Our focus remains on creating a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Evening and Weekend Classes
Our Evening and Weekend School continues to operate successfully, serving more than 700 students each week, aged between 6 and 16. These classes provide structured learning in Islamic studies, Arabic language, and Citizenship, helping young people develop strong moral values, cultural understanding, and essential life skills. The programme is designed to support not only academic growth but also character development, community awareness, and positive behaviour.
Assunnah Youth
Assunnah Youth is an important branch of the Assunnah Islamic Centre, uniquely run by the youth themselves, both boys and girls, with guidance and support from the management team. This initiative empowers young people to design and deliver programmes tailored to their own interests and needs. Their activities include weekend and evening lessons, workshops, and special sessions addressing key challenges affecting young people today, such as education pathways, social issues, relationships, gangs, drugs, and extremism.
Our Long-Term Vision
Our overarching aim is to support young Muslims in acquiring qualifications, gaining valuable experience, and developing good discipline that will benefit them throughout their lives. In the long term, the Centre is committed to strengthening the community's confidence in their faith and promoting peace, cohesion, and mutual respect.

Islamic Lessons
The Centre continues to offer a wide range of Islamic lessons that take place regularly on weekends and evenings. These include classes in Tafseer of the Qur'an, Hadith, Fiqh, and other essential Islamic sciences. The lessons are open to the general public and consistently attract a large number of attendees from diverse backgrounds. Through these programmes, community members have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of their faith, strengthen their spiritual connection, and gain practical guidance to apply Islamic principles in their daily lives. These sessions also help foster a strong sense of unity and shared learning within the community.
Women's Activities
The Centre is committed to supporting women's spiritual, educational, and social development. To facilitate this, we provide a separate, dedicated building exclusively for women's use, ensuring comfort, privacy, and accessibility. Women actively organise and manage their own programmes, which include Islamic lessons held on Sundays and weekday evenings, as well as additional sessions focused on socialising, peer support, personal development, and community engagement. These activities play a vital role in empowering women, strengthening their confidence, and creating a welcoming environment where they can connect, learn, and support one another.
Prayer Facilities
With the grace and help of Allah (SWT), we have continued to welcome worshippers to the mosque throughout the year. The Centre remains open for all five daily prayers as well as the Friday Jumu'ah prayer, accommodating local men, women, and children. The prayer facilities have become an essential part of community life, offering a peaceful and spiritually uplifting environment where individuals and families can fulfil their religious obligations. The steady attendance reflects the Centre's importance as a trusted place of worship, learning, and community connection.
The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.
The charity benefits the wider society by enhancing facilities at school, madressah, and masjid. In addition some grants are awarded to enable students to undertake community work and volunteering opportunities.

The aim is to offer a compassionate and confidential environment where people can seek help, gain clarity, and find solutions rooted in Islamic values and practical wisdom.

Throughout the year, we have supported numerous couples in formalising their union in accordance with both Islamic principles and civil requirements.

Statement of Trustees's Responsibilities
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) .
In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-

-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 13 to 17 for the year ended 31 March 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out in the notes provided.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
As described on page 8, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion
Attention is drawn to the accounting policy stating that, notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, and in order to accord with current best practice, the Trustees have determined to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), . I concur with this approach, and any references in my report to the regulations should be read subject to this comment.
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-
and that no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts 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 examination;
have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP).
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 financial statements to be reached.

1 Accounting policies
Policies relating to the production of the accounts.
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) ,effective January 2016, (The SORP), and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Allocating costs to activities
Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.
The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-
Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity. Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity. Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.
Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures
Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - give details
Volunteers
In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity.
However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note5.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over estimated useful lives.
| Freehold premises | 0 % WDV |
|---|---|
| Fixture and fittings | 6 % WDV |
| Plant and machinery | 20 % WDV |
| Motor vehicles | 25 % WDV |
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
2 Liability to taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
