REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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
Our objectives
The BMHC has developed aims and objectives that are set out below and reflect the ethos of the Centre. In terms of setting, reviewing and planning the BMHC's future activities, the Trustees have also considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit. Since its inception, BMHC has striven to live up to the values by being a place for all communities, providing a welcoming environment and working in partnership for the common good.
The vision of the British Muslim Heritage Centre is one of a trusting relationship between Muslims and the rest of society based on shared understanding and shared values.
Our mission is to achieve this through the development of collaborative and pioneering initiatives that promote and celebrates Muslim heritage and culture and making it accessible to all.
-
The BMHC is a centre for all communities - Muslim and non-Muslim
-
We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all and work in partnership for the common good.
-
In focusing on Muslim heritage, we mean Muslim history, people and contribution to human civilization.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Strategic report Achievement and performance
Supporting Activities
Supporting charitable organisations with similar aims and values provides better coordination of work. This ultimately is an effective way of supporting each other and the most vulnerable on a one-to-one basis and at an organisational level. We were pleased to respond to a number of charities who requested the British Muslim Heritage Centre to bring organisations together. The main reason for this was to ensure mutual support, share the learning, and to further enhance our services to Greater Manchester's vulnerable communities.
Tackling health inequalities has been one of our major programmes this year due to Covid-19, and before Covid-19, this was one of the significant areas of work identified by the Muslim community. Dr Tariq Chauhan chairs the British Muslim Heritage Centre tackling Health Inequalities programmes. The pandemic highlighted the inequalities faced by the Muslim and other minority groups, and it became more evident that urgent work was required. To tackle this, we continued to progress on the programme from 2019 to date. We are pleased to report that we have extended the programme in several strands: diabetes, stroke, mental health and inequalities due to Covid-19; this also includes the Impact of Racism on Health and Wellbeing.
Diabetes Engagement Project and Muslim Community Diabetes Project:
During this year we started these two major projects to support the community during this testing time. We had been helping the community throughout this period via Webinar and Zoom meetings.
The Tameside tackling health inequalities pilot project is another partnership project with Tameside CCG and Haughton Thornley Medical Centres, Thornley.
Leadership Programmes Aspiring and future leaders this year we continued this programme via Zoom meetings and webinars. This programme is for young participants aged between 14 to 18.
Supporting the Greater Manchester Interfaith Group - We helped the recruitment of two locality engagement leads for the support of greater Manchester Health and social Care.
The National Muslim Service of Commemoration 2020 . It was a pleasure for the British Muslim Heritage Centre to be invited to speak on such a special occasion and be part of the National Muslim Service of Commemoration, which took place on Wednesday 4th November 2020. Sadly, this year, we were unable to deliver a physical event due to the pandemic. However, we will be able to deliver a safe virtual event via a Zoom Webinar.
Islam Awareness November 2020 - We were pleased to take part in the Islam awareness month. This was an opportunity to promote a better understanding of issues affecting the Muslim community regionally, nationally and worldwide. We were able to work with our Patron and member of Parliament Afzal Khan and the Greater Manchester Muslim Jewish Forum.
Heritage Media - This year we have set up Heritage TV which is fully functional now on U-tube. We have started to upload podcasts and videos which are accessible for all communities.
Renovation - The Renovation of the building is completed by the grace of God during this year and we were able to accommodate homeless during this period of pandemic when government asked to provide the shelter to homeless. We started this good cause in collaboration with the Manchester City Council initially. After July 2020, another charity has taken over this project of housing of homeless.
British Muslim Heritage Centre has played its role as a community organisation during these testing times.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Strategic report Financial review
Financial Position
Full details of income and expenditure for the year are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11.
Donations remain the main source of funds while some revenue has been generated from letting parts of the building. The total unrestricted donations received for this financial year £278,833 (2019 £294,159). The organisation continues to improve income generation to support its increasing activities.
Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Investment power
The Board of Trustees is authorised under the Memorandum and Articles of Association to make and hold investments using the general funds of the Charity. However, no such investments are presently held.
Reserves policy
The financial position is regularly reviewed by the trustees to ensure effective financial governance. This includes monitoring of the cash and bank balances by the trustees. BMHC has continued to invest significant sums into refurbishment and rebuilding its grade II* listed building. The building is central to the fulfilment of our vision. The refurbishment and rebuilding process has been a priority investment focus.
Given the scale of the rebuilding and refurbishment project and its continuous demand on funds, it is not possible to maintain reserves. Despite that, the trustees remain confident that given the strength of BMHC's balance sheet, with a combined value of £ 10,406,956 of net assets, a dependable network of donors sympathetic to BMHC's vision, and the introduction of new revenue streams, there is no need to build up a reserve. The trustees are confident the organisation will continue to be able to meet with its obligations as they fall due.
Future plans
We aim to build on the success of our various programmes and ventures introduced recently. The following are the highlights of our future plans:
-
Programmes to benefit wider community. New programmes will be introduced for those wishing to gain an understanding of Islam. Short courses will be introduced for people wishing to enhance their knowledge about Islam and Muslim culture in general.
-
The marquee continues to be a useful revenue stream to help the organisation to carry out its charitable activities and after the completion of refurbished area we are now able to generate some funds through providing housing facility for homeless people through a charity. These funds will be used for the community welfare projects and running expenses of the charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Structure, governance and management
British Muslim Heritage Centre (BMHC, thereafter) was incorporated as a Limited company, company number 4779177, on 28 May 2003 as Manchester Muslim Heritage Centre. It was granted charitable status under Charities Act on 20 June 2005, (registration number 1110104). The charity's name was changed to British Muslim Heritage Centre on 31 August 2005.
BMHC is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association (amended by special resolutions). There are no specific restrictions imposed on how the Charity should operate to achieve its objective. However, the income and assets of the Charity must be applied solely for the purpose of achieving its objectives.
The Board of Trustees comprises members from diverse backgrounds. Trustees are selected on the basis of their skills, experience and networks, and the needs of the company. All members of the Board of Trustees work on voluntary basis only and dedicate a considerable amount of time to the Charity's activities.
The power of appointing new Trustees is vested in the Trustees and there are informal procedures in place for the induction and training of new Trustees. Trustees are also encouraged to attend relevant briefings and courses.
The Board of Trustees deals with matters pertaining corporate strategy, key strategic objectives and targets. The Board also deals with major decision making including for the use of financial and other resources and the agreement of budgets for projects and operations. Furthermore, dealing with issues concerning staff appointments and ensuring ongoing viability of the Charity is also undertaken by the Board. The Board has established working groups, which generally comprises between one to two Trustees, advisors, Trust staff and, where appropriate, consultants for each project. Additionally, Trustees are identified as mentors for different aspects of the Trust's activities.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), working in conjunction with Trustees, delegates much of the day-to-day running of the organisation to managers, who are the principle advisers to the Board. The managers take part in select Board meetings and, subject to the Board's approval, represent the Trust in meetings conducted outside the Centre. The staff has the authority to implement corporate strategy, make decisions, respond to consultations, allocate resources and commit expenditure in accordance with the strategic, budgetary and policy framework set by the Board. Furthermore, the contribution by a number of volunteers with variety of skills has continued to enhance the image of the organisation. Trustees' expenses during this year totalled £535 (2019 £504). The expenses relate to the travelling and accommodation of the Trustees to promote the BMHC's objectives. The Trustees received no remuneration in respect to their services to the Trust.
Events since the end of the year
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.
Trustees' responsibility statement
The trustees (who are also the directors of British Muslim Heritage Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BRITISH MUSLIM HERITAGE CENTRE
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of British Muslim Heritage Centre (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 7
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BRITISH MUSLIM HERITAGE CENTRE
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BRITISH MUSLIM HERITAGE CENTRE
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

BRITISH MUSLIM HERITAGE CENTRE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
Income from the restricted grant is recognised when charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Support costs include governance costs. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
