Al-Ansaar Welfare & Education Limited Registered company number: 04473590 Registered charity number: 1100482 Directors'/Trustees' Report
The directors/trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023.
The board of directors/trustees are satisfied with the performance of the charity during the year and the position at 30 June 2023 and consider that the charity is in a strong position to continue its activities during the coming year, and that the charity's assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations.
Principal activities
The company's principal activity during the year continued to be that of a charity.
Objectives and activities of the Trust and Public Benefit
Al-Ansaar Welfare & Education is constituted under a Trust Deed adopted on 15 December 2002.
The Trust Deed gives the Directors/Trustees the power to apply funds in such a manner as they think fit to or for the benefit of any charitable object or purpose. The activities are listed below :-
To provide Islamic education for children aged 5 to 16.
To provide Madrasa for children aged 5 to 16. To provide and promote youth work. To provide Islamic awareness workshops. To provide Nikah (marriage) service, counselling and guidance.
Management and governance
Directors/Trustees
The following persons served as directors during the year:
Mr M F Kazi Director and Trustee Mr A Bhayat Director and Trustee Mr J Pathan Trustee
The daily running of the Charity is delegated to Mr F Kazi who acts as Charity Co-ordinator with the support staff.
The chair of the Trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee which involves awareness of the trustee's responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity. A new trustee would receive a copy of the previous year's annual report and accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee : What You Need To Know'.
The trustees annually review the risks that the charity faces. The main focus of risk to the trustees on a monthly basis is to monitor donations received and to ensure they remain at the level the charity requires to continue with its activities. Having suffered a reduction in donations in the year under review and its income from fund rasing activities the trustees have kept expenditure to a minimum where possible and the trustees consider that the charity still has a viable stand alone position.

Share Capital
The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital.
Directors'/Trustees' responsibilities
The Charities Acts and the Companies Acts require the board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements ;
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examine the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
This report was approved by the board on 29 April 2024 and signed on its behalf.

Mr M F Kazi Trustee/Director Approved by the board on 29 April 2024

Al-Ansaar Welfare & Education Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008, and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, (revised June 2008). The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Companies Act 2006, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing.
Insofar as the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, (revised June 2008) requires compliance with specific Financial Reporting Standards other than the FRSSE then the specific Financial Reporting Standards have been followed where their requirements differ from those of the FRSSE.
Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in the FRSSE from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under historical cost convention.
The charity is entirely dependent on continuing donations and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing donations.
Incoming Resources
Incoming resources are accounted for on receivable basis.
Investment Income
Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognized on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and reporting (revised June 2008) issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales.

Al-Ansaar Welfare & Education Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
Resources expended
The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs to the appropriate category.
In particular the policy for including items within costs of charitable activities and governance is :-
Charitable Activities
The cost of goods and services and ancillary trading costs that have been incurred in charitable activities. The Chair of the trustees and support staff both promote and developed the charitable activates of the charity and therefore the relevant salary costs are treated as direct charitable expenditure.
Governance costs
Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organizational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
Allocation of costs within types of resources expended
Other Resources Expended
These include expenditure not directly related to the charitable activity. In respect of certain items of expenditure it is a matter of judgment as to whether such items are direct charitable expenditure or are administrative or premises costs, and the directors have applied what they consider to be reasonable judgments in apportioning such costs.
Depreciation
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Land and buildings Nil Plant and machinery 15% reducing balance
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and therefore included in relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Fund Structure policy
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
