Nature of the Governing Document and constitution of the charity
Risk Review
Financial Review The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the Charity.
Aims and Objectives
The charity runs Huda Community Centre which is situated in Newtown, the north of the inner city area of Birmingham, where it has been established to serve the local community, particularly in meeting their religious, educational, social and cultural needs. We aim to advance the education level of our community and provide facilities for social welfare, recreation and leisure with the objective of improving the conditions of life for all residents in the area. It is a popular facility which welcomes, includes and benefits the whole community and one which responds flexibly, compassionately and creatively to community needs. We believe strongly in the importance of community and always consider how our Centre can play a key role in the community as a whole.
Activities
The usual Muslim prayer facilities including 5 times a day prayers, Fridays and Ramadan services and Eid Celebrations.
-
Youth activities including 1 youth camping trip, 2 youth outdoor retreats, sports activities, career workshops and mentoring sessions.
-
Engagement meetings with Local organisations including Aston Villa Foundation, the Local Police and Lozells Councillor.
-
Quran and Islamic classes for children on most days of the week, including the weekends. 5. Workshops for Volunteers and members for capacity building.
Transactions and Financial position
The financial statements have been prepared implementing the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (the FRSSE) (effective 1 January 2015) and in Charity Law requires the Board to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:-
A. Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
B. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
C. State whether applicable accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

The Trustees' Report
The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025
Financial Review
At the end of this financial year, the charity has £24,837.82 at bank. The trustees are not expecting any financial hardship in the coming year but still reserved £10,000.00 for emergency use. In this reporting
period, we secured a total income of £148,963.87 mainly from Friday collections, fund raising activities, grant funding, and members’ contribution. The most notable source of income for this
financial year was the generous donations from the community we serve. The charity owns a tangible fixed asset premises estimated at £281,080.00 previously, and a new extension building worthy of £76,562.41.
Future Plans
We are done with the first phase of the building works of the extension project. We are aiming to start phase 2 of extension building works in the next financial year (FY27). Among providing developmental workshops for youth and families, this phase of building work remains to be at the top our priorities in the coming financial year. We will continue the services that we provide to the community including Muslim prayer facilities including Friday prayers. Ramadan and Eid services are the main mass gatherings which need to be accommodated. We will also continue the Quran teaching classes as well as other community and youth activities.

Huda Community Association Independent Examiner's Report to the members of the charity
Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees
on the accounts of the Charity for the year ende31 March 2025
I report on the financial statements of the Charity on pages 6 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective January 2007 , adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2008 as modified in June 2008. (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied mysef that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the accounts under section 43 of the Act;
b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act; and;
c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
4
Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements , and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales ( effective April 2008 ), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed our examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.
