## Al-Markazul-Ilmi Report of the Trustees
## For the year ended 31 August 2024
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 August 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 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 future, 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.
There were appoximately 233 non-residential students and 3 volunteers in the financial year.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The trustees run a fee based system as well as donations from fundraising they do.
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 is now fully refurbished and operational.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The school's principal funding is through fees now and the income has increased from £131,221 to £134,344 an increase of £3,123 principally due to an increase in fees.
There is more active charity fundraising to meet expenses for the charity which has increased substantially due to more staff recruitment to meet the increase in student intake not to mention to cover the substantial market increases of gas/electricity costs which has affected everyone in the UK. In total the amount of expenses in the year was £215,109 compared to last years of £171,084 an increase of £44,025.
The charity has made a net surplus of £4,379 compared to prior year surplus of £6,134.
## **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.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees
## For the year ended 31 August 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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.
## **Independent examiners statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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.
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.
