Structure, Governance and Management.
Governing document
Al Jamia Darul Quran is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission in July 2004 under charity number 1105393. It is governed by a deed of trust last updated in July 2004.
Organisational structure
The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees meet together as a body quarterly and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the Mosque and the community facilities and the activities provided by the charity. To assist in the smooth running of the charity the trustees have set up a committee that help them oversee certain aspects of the charity’s work.

The committee each meet on average once a month. The chair of trustees chairs the committees whose membership reflects the particular skills that trustees can bring to the work of the committee.
Relief work policy

The Mosque has given money to educational charities in these countries which make funds available to meet the short-term financial problems of parents enabling their children’s education to continue. This year, as we did last year, we administered the receipt and distribution of Zakat, which is collected and distributed in accordance with the teachings of Islam for the relief of those in poverty and the destitute. We work with partner organisations, usually the local Mosque, to identify who we can help through our Committee.
