Al-Markazul-Ilmi Report of the Trustees

For the year ended 31 August 2020

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020. 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity primarily runs a Level 3 Islamic Theology course for girls. This is a 7 year part time course which takes place during the evening hours. The Charity's objectives are to establish and operate an institution for the advancement of education in both secular and religious faith.

The charity aims to give its students the opportunity to reach their full potential in their academic, spiritual, moral and social development.

Moreover, the charity seeks to prepare students for the 21st century, through religious faith, by raising their awareness to the different cultures around us and how we can live as a cohesive community in a plural society by accepting and respecting diversity and by being tolerant to others in accordance with British values. This is achieved by actively promoting attitudes such as respect for rule of law, individual liberties, democracy and mutual respect for different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith; all of which constitute core British values.

In addition, the charity seeks to empower students and provide them with a strong religious and British identity where they feel confident of both their religious and British identity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees are pleased to report that the performance of the school has been very good. The trustees are confident that the education provided will enable the students to deal with adult life in a mature and sensible manner.

The instituion is proud to be able to maintain a good balance between high achievement and a spirit of service and devotion, thus providing an ideal environment for pupils to grow in and experience a vast array of social and academic skills in a safe and respectful manner.

The trustees are also pleased to inform that the property purchased adjacent to the school has more or less been refurbished which will enhance the facilities at the school.

The charity as a future requirement looking to provide 16 educational courses. The details behind this is still being worked on.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves

It is policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately 12 months' regular expenditure. This ensures there are always sufficient funds to cover costs. The school's principal funding is through charitable donations but they have received some element of COVID-19 government/council grant in the year.

Despite the COVID-19 pandameic the charity has managed to raise substantial donations in the year.

The overhead expenditure has remained fairly consistent after taking into account increased staff costs due to minimum wage increase and an increase of 4 staff to meet the extra demand for the teaching staff to achieve a good teacher to student ratio.
