Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Beeston Muslim Centre is a charitable organisation, registered charity no. 1104130, set up to promote the advancement of religion as practised by Sunni Muslims of the Hanfi Brailvi school of thought, provide educational support to children, help alleviate poverty, distress and sickness within all sectors of the community and develop interfaith relationships through dialogue with local community representatives.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Requirement for Madrasah at BMC continues to increase. Number of sessions have been increased to meet this growing demand. Staff have weekly sessions for CPD. These focus on improving the quality of teaching, quality assurance of marking and feedback and safeguarding training. All staff have been trained in First Aid.
The planning application submitted to Broxtowe Borough Council for a small extension of the kitchen was approved in December 2022 and plans are now being put in place to get quotes for the building work and get a team of volunteers to support the project. Further fund-raising activities will take place in Ramadhan 2023.
The Charity has been successful in applying for Places for Worship Funding from the government for security measures. The government appointed contractors are currently carrying our surveys and implementation plans will be finalised by mid-2023. The funding will provide a new shutter for the main gate, cctv system, mesh covering for windows to the front of the building and intruder alarm.
Elections for a new Management Committee took place in January 2023.
The management team would like to thank all members and volunteers for their time and resources.

Independent examiner's statement
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:

-
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.
