Each year, Iman Trust hosts a Sports Day in July, where children participate in various sports tournaments, including football, tennis, and badminton. These events promote physical fitness, teamwork, and a sense of community, encouraging youth to engage in healthy activities during the summer months.

Ongoing Sports Activities

Throughout the year, we provide regular sports sessions every weekend. These activities are designed to promote health and wellbeing, with children encouraged to participate in sports of their choice, including those offered by the Trust. Iman Trust associated youth group holds football sessions on week ends throughout the year and the Iman Trust football team participates in football tournaments regularly. Also see below for additional information.

Art and Craft Sessions

Iman Trust also runs regular art and craft workshops to encourage creativity and self-expression. These sessions help children develop skills in painting, designing, decorating, and problem-solving, fostering both individual and group creativity.

Workshops

We offer a variety of educational workshops on topics relevant to our young participants. For example, during Ramadan and Eid, we hold special sessions to discuss the significance of these occasions, allowing children to deepen their understanding of their faith.

"Become Leaders" Program

We have recently introduced the Become Leaders program, where a student is selected to serve as "class champion." This child takes on responsibility for organizing tasks, supporting peers, and learning how to lead and delegate. The program aims to enhance leadership skills, build confidence, and encourage responsibility, helping children prepare to take on leadership roles within their community.

Team Building Initiatives

Our Team Building program focuses on fostering collaboration and teamwork among participants. Children are assigned various tasks that require them to solve problems together, developing both interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively as a group.

At the core of our work is Quranic Education, which enables students to not only read but also memorize portions of the Quran. We use a variety of engaging and interactive teaching methods, including visual aids, workshops, and group discussions, to ensure that learning is both enjoyable and meaningful for the children.

Islamic Studies Curriculum

Our Islamic Studies curriculum is designed to address the challenges faced by young people in today’s world. Through a combination of interactive lessons, visual learning tools, and discussion-based approaches, we aim to make Islamic studies accessible and relevant to the lives of our students.

personal and spiritual issues.

NIKAH CEREMONIES

Nikah is the muslim act of matrimony. Nikah services are provided by the mosque according to traditions of Islam, which can sometimes be held at the mosque, or usually at wedding venues, where Imam is invited to undertake the Nikah ceremony.

Bi-weekly men’s football

Organised and managed by Iman Trust Football Club (FC). A midweek 6 aside game at Prescot Soccer Centre and a weekend 8 aside game at Rainhill High School are offered every week. Adult players of all ages and abilities are invited to participate. A dedicated Iman Trust FC financial fund covers all related expenses, which is exclusively managed by senior members of Iman Trust FC. Football sessions are open and inclusive, welcoming participants of varying ages and abilities. This activity promotes physical health, mental wellbeing, and regular social interaction. Beyond sport, the football group acts as a positive engagement platform for young people, providing structure, routine, and a healthy outlet for energy.

Chariity football tournament

Not held this year due to logistics reasons.

Iman Trust FC social events

Imam Trust FC organises a number of social events throughout the year. These team building sessions are open to all members of Iman Trust FC and aim to promote bonds of brotherhood and friendships. These events have proven to be very popular and are always well attended.

Iman Trust FC Mentor/Mentee Scheme

The founding members of Iman Trust FC set up a mentorship scheme to provide support to younger and new members of the group. Pastoral care and mentorship are key elements of this scheme. This scheme has proved to be extremely fruitful and has enabled new and younger members to seek aid and advice on educational and employment matters. This scheme has facilitated members in furthering their educational and academic goals and in gaining employment. The football group naturally incorporates mentorship and leadership opportunities. Older and more experienced participants take on informal mentoring roles, supporting younger members through guidance, encouragement, and positive role-modelling. This helps foster responsibility, discipline, confidence, and teamwork, particularly among younger attendees.

Organised Social Activities

In addition to the weekly football sessions, the group organises regular social events, helping to strengthen relationships beyond the sporting environment. These activities further promote community cohesion, mutual understanding, and positive peer network

Regular football participation encourages the development of strong friendships and social bonds. Many participants who may otherwise feel socially isolated benefit from a sense of belonging and community identity. The group provides a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can connect through shared interests and mutual respect.

Positive Youth Engagement

Overall, the football initiative plays a significant role in engaging young people constructively, reducing social isolation, and encouraging healthy lifestyles. It supports personal development, leadership skills, and long-term positive outcomes for participants within the wider community.

Iman Trust FC Leadership programme

This programme was established to develop leadership skills amongst members of Iman Trust FC. A particular focus is given on developing public speaking skills with regular opportunities for all members to engage in public speaking. Roles and responsibilities are attributed to various members to build upon skills of leadership and teamwork, skills which are essential for all walks of life.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

The target area of benefit is St Helens, Knowsley, Widnes & Halton, and the wider community overall. The area of practice is expected mainly to cover Merseyside, Cheshire & Lancashire.

The charity’s activities will include the provision of place for Islamic religious activities such as daily prayers & Friday Sermons, general charitable purposes, education and training for the local Muslim community and for the benefit of the wider community and general public such as promoting religious harmony. It is the Trust’s intention and aim to promote the spirit of citizenship and religious harmony between people of all faiths and of no faith and to celebrate the multicultural contribution in enriching the common society for all. The means to this will include primarily the provision of buildings, facilities and materials. This will also include advocacy, advice and information.

The Iman Trust Islamic Centre was privileged by having its first Imam (religious minister), whose first language is English and is an eloquent speaker. The first Imam had a big impact on the community and especially its youth.

After the first Imam resigned and moved to a different city, he was replaced in 2018 by another eloquent Imam, whose first language is English and who was educated in the UK.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

The second Imam left our Trust and mosque late in 2022. Once again we endeavoured to replace him with equally eloquent Imam, and we were successful in recruiting a young person who was born and educated in the UK, who spoke eloquent English. 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. Arabic is also taught because of its importance for understanding the Quran.

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 2024-2025

Summary of the main achieveme nts of the charity during the year

The Trust continued to build on the previous years’ successes with further activities to fulfil the Charity’s aims, objectives and ambitions. When possible, the Trust concentrated on the activities that received the highest rating by feedback and popularity as well as those that provide the most benefit to the users and the overall society.

But the overall activity this year, like the year before, were limited due to various reasons.

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 our 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 larger hall as per the building regulation. Additional work involved security CCTV 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 in discussion and planning application process is well underway. Fundraising for the project had started ahead of plans in 2021.

We have also recently 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. We continue to keep open liaison and communication at least ad hoc, and we welcome all the advice and support we receive from Merseyside Police.

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 day for the duration of the month.

In 2022, a new initiative was launched by Masjid Bilal (London) and was made freely available to all our community members online through the month of Ramadan. This was “Quranic Diagrammatic Overview”. Harnessing the technology and making the best of flexibility, by online provision, and unrestricted access and benefit, being free of charge. Thanks to Dr Usama Munir for facilitating this.

Another one, “A Guide to An Amazing Ramadan” was also made available online

Various other selected material such as health advice for diabetics during Ramadan was also made available as links on the “Views and News Iman Trust” WhatsApp group.

During the Ramadan, we were able to undertake our popular weekend sessions of having a collective (all families) iftar (breaking the fast and having the evening meal) in the Iman Trust mosque (St Helens), every Saturday during Ramadan. This is preceeded by a lecture by an invited speaker and Q&A session between the Asr and Maghrib prayers ie before sunset. Booking for up to 150 participants was made available to all community members on Evenbrite App, on the bases of first come first served. All events and meals were free of charge, and covered by voluntary donations by some members of the community and supplemented by the Trust.

Quran & Arabic Language Lessons:

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. The organisation of this schooling activity is seen by the Trustee with responsibility for Education and School.

Other educational & training activities:

Other educational activities, aimed at improving the character and conduct of the members of the Muslim community 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, though ad hoc recently.

This year the community dedicated WhatsApp groups (Mosque, Ladies and Families groups) members have increased in number and the groups have become further established. This platform provides a popular and effective channel to share community related news, events and 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. Islam provides a way of life, and the khutbas aim to deliver those messages.

St Helens Muslim Community Eid Prayer Events :

We were able to continue to conduct the Eid prayers fully this year as well. Due to a large number of attendees, including families with children, we held the Eid prayers in 2 sessions to be able to accommodate all participants without causing over crowding. The 2 Eid events are at the end of Ramadhan and then in the month of Hajj, according to Islamic calender.

DISCOVER ISLAM ACTIVITIES:

Over the past many years we have continued with major public awareness activities in partnership with museums and educational institutions in the wider region.

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’. This has been a successful, popular and ongoing activity for many years. Sometimes when particular school was unable to visit for logistics reasons, and preferred an event in their school, we offered that the Imam and suitably trained staff do the visit and speak to the students and conduct Q&A session. This activity is very popular and we are regularly contacted by local schools as well schools from further afield to conduct these visits. This year the school visits took place on 05/12/2024 and 17/01/2025

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.

We have opened fund raising for the planned future reconstruction of the centre. We have also introduced automated electronic stands for receiving the donations at the centre. This proved very successful and very popular.

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.

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 bon-fire event of fire works every year on 5[th] November.
