**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

The Board of Trustees followed all the national regulations and added further steps to ensure safety of the users as well as the society overall. These measures included:

We also encouraged the use of the NHS trace App.**_

The Iman Trust Islamic Centre was privileged by having its first Imam (religious minister), whose first tongue is English and is an eloquent speaker. The first Imam limited his activities to the school and was replaced in 2018 by another eloquent Imam, whose first tongue is English and was educated in the UK. The medium of instruction in the Centre is English, though other languages such as Arabic and Urdu are also catered for when needed for facilitating users’ needs. 

The Imam facilitates the religious activities and conducts the prayers and gives the Friday Sermons. However, the educational activities were not restricted to this, but were enriched by various speakers and organisers as necessary.

## **Section D                      Achievements and performance** 

## **ACTIVITIES, PERFORMANCE & EVENTS 2020-2021:** 

**Summary of the main** In the year February 2021 - February 2022 the Trust continued to build on the previous years’ **achieveme** successes with further activities to fulfil the Charity’s aims, objectives and ambitions. The **nts of the** Trust concentrated on the activities that received the highest rating by feedback and **charity** popularity as well as those that provide the most benefit to the users and the overall society. **during the** But the overall activity this year, like the year before, was affected by the COVID-19 **year** Pandemic and the lockdown. 

## _**PREMISES & FACILITIES and their uses:**_ 

The Trust’s facilities provide the main Mosque / Masjid facilities locally and an Islamic Educational Centre. 

The premises of the Iman Trust Centre has the following facilities: 

_**Main Hall** (for Prayer sermons, Lectures, and Study Days)_ _**Side Hall** (for women prayer and other private activities)_ _**Small Office** (for administration)_ 

_**Male & Female & Disabled Toilet, Shower & Wudu facilities** )_ _**Small kitchenette** (for small services, hot drinks, warming food etc..)_ _**Leisure & Sports Hall/Conservatory** (for kids activity, functions, space)_ _**Porch** (for shoes storage, and leaflet stands)_ 

_**Car Parking Facility for over 24 cars, including 2 disabled pays** , and an internal overflow parking facility for additional 10-12 cars. All marked._ 

There is also full security facility with flood lights and 24 hours CCTV as advised by the Merseyside police, and regularly inspected. Recently it has been recommended by the police to consider an upgrade to this in the near future, which may benefit from some help under the provisions of Security of Places of Worship Programme. 

The building is fully compliant with safety & fire regulations and passed previous inspections in this regard. The internal car parking facility help prevent creating parking inconvenience to neighbours, and we also give permission for its use to St Helens Council during special functions such as on bonfire night for the benefit of the local community of St Helens. The Councils’ Sutton Leisure Centre and Sutton Academy reciprocally allow the users of the centre to use their Car Parking Facilities as an overflow parking, especially during large functions such as Friday Congregational Prayers And Eid Events. 

In addition the piece of land that the Trust gift-lent (dedicated) to the Local Council free of charge to complete the public footpath was also finished to the benefit of the public at large. The Fence & gate were erected in consultation with the local police advice. The last of the major building work involved the internal conversion of the main premises into a large hall as per the building regulation. Additional work involved security CCT and lighting, broadband connection and Audio Visual facilities necessary for the running of education activities. Bird boxes were previously installed to promote the environment and further trees were implanted. 

## **Currently there are plans to modernise the building that are still in the discussion and planning process. Fundraising for the project has just started ahead of plans.** 

We have also bought a nearby house to facilitate the imam’s accommodation, save on rental expenses, and be a reserve asset for future modernisation of the centre.

_**PREVENT- Merseyside Inter-faith Forum & Other liaison with Merseyside Police:**_ 

_Our Trust & Islamic Centre works in close partnership with Merseyside Police for the benefit of the wider community and for the safety and cohesion of the society. We have a longstanding activity record from representation on the previously held community diversity meetings to the interfaith forum first held on 3 June 2015 under PREVENT, and other relevant meetings. We also previously organised training sessions for Merseyside Police Officers to facilitate their work with the Muslim community. We also had social joint activities such as football matches in the past._ 

**This year due to COVID 19 and lockdown, there were fewer meetings, a Trust representative attended the online PREVENT Community Roundtable Event meeting on 19[th] January 2022.** 

## _**The month of Ramadan:**_ 

_The month of Ramadan is a very special occasion for Muslims world-wide. It’s a large annual event that provides an opportunity for reflection and help to the poor and needy. The amount of Charity giving in this month alone constitutes one of the largest charitable activities. It’s also a month where Muslims like to be even closer to Allah with more prayers and observing the fasting from dawn to sunset every for the duration of the month._ 

**The year before, Covid-19 left its mark on this, to be the first year not to have congregational** _**Taraweeh Evening Prayers during the month of fasting – Ramadan.**_ **However, this year we managed to have a limited evening congregational prayers. There were also regular 2 hour lectures followed by Q&A, online on Zoom, on Saturdays and Sundays during the month of Ramadan.** 

## _**Quran & Arabic Language Lessons:**_ 

_In addition, the centre hosts regular weekly_ _**(Saturdays & Sundays) Quranic and Arabic Language Lessons** which proved very popular, particularly amongst the young ones. The previous Imam heads the provisions of this educational activity, supported by the main Imam and other volunteer teachers._ 

**These were suspended during the lockdown period most from Feb 2020, and only resumed recently** . 

## _**Other educational & training activities:**_ 

_Other educational activities, aimed at improving the character and conduct of the Muslim community members to be better citizens for the overall benefit of the wider society. This is a traditional educational activity central to Islamic teachings and prophetic tradition. It involves ad hoc_ _**lectures or discussions** which are led by various established speakers from various parts of the country. Many of these were conducted during the month of Ramadan. Other_ _**lectures and presentations** were conducted in the centre. Women’s Quranic Lessons were also conducted._ 

**This year Feb 2020-2021 seen a change in how this is provided. We created a community group on WhatsApp for Views & News and provision of advice.** 

## _**Friday Khutba (weekly mass sermon):**_ 

_Perhaps one of the most outstanding activities is the regular_ _**Friday Khutba (Sermon)** given by our eloquent and highly educated young Imam, which attracts over 120 people every week. Khutbas (religious lectures) which cover modern topics and subjects very important in building citizens’ character which is integral to Islamic education._ 

**This activity was suspended for most part of the year Feb 2020-2021 during the lockdown. When it was resumed restrictions were imposed on the numbers, with online pre-booking on Eventbrite booking service. Oneway traffic (entrance & exit) and the use of masks, temperature check on entry and the the use of alcohol gels and disposable paper matts was enforced. Physical distancing and prohibition of gathering was also enforced. Some of these regulations continued for awhile even after the lockdown was nationally lifted.**

## **St Helens Muslim Community Eid Prayer & Event 13[th] May 2021:** 

We were able to conduct the Eid prayers, although with some safety restrictions. One of trustees and his family donated cake to the Sutton Leisure Centre staff and the neighbours in the houses next to the Mosque. 

## _**DISCOVER ISLAM ACTIVITIES:**_ 

_Over the past few years we continued on the major public awareness activities in partnership with museums and educational institutions._ 

The year before we had to suspend these activities due to COVID 19, and we had to cancel an activity planned for April 2020. Instead in August 2020, we assisted the Museum of Liverpool to set up an exhibition on the effects of Covid 19 on our social, family and religious activities. 

**This year our members helped in the organisation of Discover Islam on 30[th] October 2021 in Harrogate.** 

**Another Discover Islam Event at Blackburn Central Library on 27[th] November 2021, was supported by one of our trustees and his team of volunteers.** 

_**A day in the Islamic Centre / Mosque: 1- For Primary Schools:**_ 

_The centre also caters for primary school visits as ‘_ _**A Day in Islamic Centre/Mosque for Schools’.** In the past few years we welcomed a few schools in the centre with well-planned day full of education, fun & activities. The feedback from pupils and teachers is outstanding and heart-filled._ 

_For those schools who struggle to find the means to visit the centre, for example due to large number of pupils, we offer to do the visit to school to provide equally exciting experience._ 

_**This year, like the year before, saw restriction on this activity due to Covid-19. This was resumed on 22[nd] November 2021, when one of our trustees visited a primary school and answered questions for year 5 pupils.**_ 

_**Another visit was to Eccleston Lane Primary School on 16[th] December 2021. Another visit to Queen’s Park School on 14[th] January 2022. On 14[th] January 2022, Robin Lane Primary School pupils visited the Masjid.**_ 

## _**Fund Raising for the Iman Trust Islamic Centre:**_ 

_We continue fund raising for the Iman Trust centre to meet its running costs and financial obligations. All Trustees and many IMAN-Trust Friends sat up standing orders donations. Users of the centre also donate regularly into the donation box or directly via the Trust bank accounts._ 

**Fund raising was limited this year, though most of people who set up standing orders in the past, they continued them due to Covid-19 restrictions on gatherings.** 

## _**Fund raising for national and international charitable projects:**_ 

_In the past Friday Sermons provides an opportunity to make collections for other approved charities that are registered with the Charity Commission if they are UK based. These included support for natural disasters or refugees of war etc…We do not provide direct support, but allow select UK Registered Charities to occasionally collect during Ramadan or Friday sermons._ 

**This year, even when Friday Sermons were conducted when the lockdown was lifted, we were unable to conduct these activities as we continued to observe social distancing and other Covid measures.**

## _**Working together with the local Metropolitan Councils:**_ 

_We always liaise and work together with St Helens, Knowsley and Whiston MB Councils for the benefit of the wider community. For example the St Helens MBC helps with providing access to the Leisure centre Car Park during Eid sermons to avoid parking problems and we reciprocate this joint work by providing our Iman Trust Centre’s Car Park for the MBC Parking services for the bone-fire event of fire workers every year on 5[th] November._ 

_**This year we registered as volunteers with the St Helens MBC, to assist in their wider community support during the Covid Pandemic.**_

**MOTHER’S DAY: Iman Trust & Meet Your Muslim Neighbour Celebration by Primary School Children.** 

**This annual event was initially booked for March 2020, but as the pandemic started to peak, we had to cancel it even before the lockdown was enforced. This year too, we were unable to organise this popular event due to continued Covid-19 restrictions.** 

## **Other Activities Feb 2020-2021:** 

We registered with the Spiritual Services Department at Whiston Hospital to assist with any Muslim patients that require spiritual support. 

We also registered with the St Helens Council as volunteers to assist their support for the wider community during the Covid 19 Pandemic. 

We also volunteered for the local Food Banks providing food parcels. We also collected food from supermarkets, packed it and distributed it to families.
