Al-Huda Academy

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

Registered Charity Number: 1113604

Charity Information

Al-Huda Academy is a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity No. 1113604). The charity is managed by three trustees: Shafwan Ahmed, Yaseer Gulam Vali Ahmed, and Muhammed Ma’az Patel.

The principal address of the Academy is:

Al-Huda Academy, Deane Road, Bolton, BL3 5NR, United Kingdom.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is governed by its Trust Deed and is constituted as a trust. New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees. As part of their induction, all trustees receive the Charity Commission’s guidance CC3 The Essential Trustee, including the six main duties, and undertake safeguarding training. They are also provided with copies of relevant policies and procedures to ensure they are equipped to fulfil their responsibilities.

The Academy operates under a multi-layered governance structure. At the core are the three trustees, who hold ultimate legal responsibility. In addition, a Board Management Team has been established, consisting of the trustees alongside two dedicated volunteers. This board meets monthly to provide wider strategic oversight and to support the long-term planning of the charity. For the day-to-day operation of the Darul-Uloom, a management team of four senior teachers meets fortnightly to carry out mashwarah (consultation), review student progress, and ensure smooth functioning. The trustees themselves meet formally every three months to review the charity’s overall activities, finances, and risks.

The trustees continuously monitor and assess major risks, particularly in relation to finance and safeguarding, and are satisfied that effective systems are in place to mitigate these risks. All staff and volunteers are DBS-checked, safeguarding and HR policies are updated annually, and the Academy maintains both employer liability and public liability insurance.

The trustees would like to record their sincere appreciation to all donors, volunteers, staff, and well-wishers whose support—whether financial, physical, or moral—has been instrumental in sustaining and expanding the work of the Academy.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of Al-Huda Academy are to advance education and Islamic learning for the public benefit. This is achieved by providing teaching, training, publications, and guidance primarily for young Muslims, while also serving the wider community. The charity works to advance the Islamic religion in accordance with the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as understood by the pious predecessors (salafus-sālihīn). It also seeks to promote Arabic and Urdu education, and to help young Muslims develop spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, and emotionally so that they may grow into responsible citizens who contribute positively to society.

In carrying out these objectives, the trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance in 2024

The Nursery and Primary School continued to flourish throughout 2024 and reached full capacity with 200 children enrolled. The staff team, numbering around 30 members including administrators, teachers, and support staff, provided a nurturing Islamic environment where academic and spiritual development go hand in hand.

A full Ofsted inspection was carried out in March 2024. Inspectors commended the school for its strong safeguarding culture and the outstanding personal development of its pupils. Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, and Early Years Provision were all graded Outstanding, while the Quality of Education and Leadership and Management were graded Good. Inspectors highlighted the commitment of the trustees, leadership, and staff in enabling pupils to achieve their academic potential while growing into capable and caring citizens.

By year-end, the Nursery and Primary School achieved a surplus of £45,056.59, reflecting careful financial management and strong parental support.

The full-time Darul-Uloom caters for boys aged 16 and above who are pursuing higher Islamic education and the memorisation of the Holy Qur’an. 21 students are awaiting their Hifz Qur’an graduation ceremony, marking a major milestone in their spiritual journey. Alongside academic learning, the Academy places great emphasis on the holistic tarbiyah of its students. Recreational activities such as horse riding, archery, and monthly swimming sessions have been introduced to ensure students remain active and develop life skills.

The newly extended hall of the outbuilding has also proven invaluable. It now accommodates annual prize-giving ceremonies and examinations for students, creating an inspiring space for both academic and community events.

The Evening Madrasah has continued to experience remarkable growth, with student numbers increasing by around 30% during 2024. There are now more than 160 boys and girls enrolled,

studying Qur’an alongside subjects such as ʿAqīdah, Sīrah, Fiqh, and Akhlāq. A significant development this year was the opening of a Girls’ Evening Madrasah in September 2024, catering for 50 girls from the age of 4 and above.

The teaching workforce has expanded in line with student growth. The Madrasah now benefits from 22 teachers in total, comprising 18 male teachers (including 4 volunteers) and 4 female teachers (including 2 volunteers).

Financially, the Evening Madrasah and Darul-Uloom together recorded a surplus of £7,982.10 in December 2024.

As in previous years, Al-Huda Academy facilitated the placement of ḥuffāẓ in mosques across the country and internationally to lead Tarāwīḥ prayers during the month of Ramadhān. This not only provides an invaluable service to the Muslim community but also strengthens the confidence and leadership of the students themselves.

The Academy continues to serve the wider community through a variety of initiatives. The Weekly Qur’an Discourse, delivered at Randal Street Masjid, has now been running for 20 years, providing a platform for the public to access authentic Qur’anic teachings in English. In addition, the Academy was honoured to host a number of esteemed scholars and luminaries throughout 2024, whose visits inspired and uplifted both staff and students.

Financial Review

The Academy ended 2024 in a stable financial position, with surpluses recorded across its educational programmes. The Nursery and Primary School achieved a surplus of £45,056.59, while the Darul-Uloom and Evening Madrasah together reported a surplus of £7,982.10.

The charity has also made significant progress in reducing its outstanding Qarz-e-Hasanah (interest-free loans). At December 2023, the balance stood at £213,921. By December 2024, this had reduced to £185,421, representing a repayment of £28,500 during the year. This reduction demonstrates both financial prudence and a commitment to moving towards long-term sustainability.

The trustees operate a reserves policy that seeks to maintain sufficient funds to cover at least two months of operational costs, thereby ensuring resilience against unforeseen challenges.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, the trustees intend to further expand the girls’ evening provision in response to strong demand from the community. Continued investment in student tarbiyah will remain a priority, with recreational and character-building activities forming a central part of the Academy’s ethos. The trustees are also committed to reducing qarz-e-hasanah further while

supporting staff through training and professional development to ensure that teaching remains of the highest quality.

Acknowledgements

The trustees would like to place on record their heartfelt gratitude to the donors, parents, staff, and volunteers whose efforts underpin the Academy’s success. Their contributions of time, energy, and financial support are deeply valued. It is our prayer that Allāh accepts these efforts, places barakah in their lives and wealth, and rewards them with ṣadaqah jāriyah.

Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and applicable UK accounting standards (FRS 102). They must ensure that the accounts give a true and fair view of the charity’s affairs, safeguard the charity’s assets, and take reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud or mismanagement.
