Trustees Annual Report – Year Ended 31 March 2022

The trustees have the pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives And Activities

The objectives of the charity are to support CIF work and the running of a luncheon club for the benefit of the Muslim community of Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire. The charity also supports the interests of Muslim women within the designated area.

Summary of The Main Activities Undertaken For The Public Benefit In Relation To These Objects

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees’ meetings and ensure that this is the driving force behind our activities

Achievements And Performance

It has been a very busy but also a very rewarding year with fundraising at the heart of our efforts to raise enough funds to repair the roof and install new windows and fans to provide ventilation in the summer and warmth in the winter. I am pleased to announce that as I write this, we are just over £10,000 short of the required £130,000 to carry out the above repairs and make our wonderful premises secure and watertight. This I feel has been an absolutely wonderful achievement by all the community and I feel so proud of everyone who has given up their time and money in order to get to this point.

We have continued to establish Youth forums for children from 8-18 years old to tackle everyday issues and allow children to address any questions that they have about Islam and how it affects their daily lives. This project is also ongoing and was started last summer as it was felt that our children needed a platform to air their queries and concerns and discuss matters which they perhaps otherwise would not broach at home such as online bullying and eating disorders.

Ladies classes are being provided to allow our mothers and sisters to congregate in a safe environment and discuss Islam and better educate themselves. We hope that such classes will also help to alleviate the big problem of Isolation and depression that many Muslims especially women feel living in a small community.

Funeral Service - One of our key objectives was to be totally independent and be able to carry out the ghusl of the deceased in our own community rather than having to travel many miles to do this and rely on the permission and understanding of others. We will be looking at completing this project once our new community centre has been up and running for a few years.

Interfaith Forum - we have built on our extremely successful inter-faith Project where members of the non-Muslim community are welcomed into the Mosque to allow them to sit with us and see Islam being practised in front of their eyes rather than letting the media drive an anti-Islamic narrative. We have made many new friends and we provide a platform for them discuss new and interesting subjects.

Interpreting/Signposting - We have been providing an interpretation and signposting service from the mosque as quite a few members of our community do not have English as their first language and we will use signposting to point members to the varied services available to help make their daily lives more fulfilling.

Over the past year we have been extremely active in providing a foodbank initiative for vulnerable members of not only the local Muslim community but also the wider population . We have an opendoor policy where families who are struggling to make ends meet are encouraged to come into our premises and help themselves to basic necessities. We have set up a fund where members can provide financial assistance to the most vulnerable in Chesterfield & North Derbyshire.

Finally we have been at the forefront in welcoming Refugee families from Syria who have suffered horrifically both physically and mentally. We have worked with such familes to help provide them with food, medical assistance, schooling and interpretation as and when required and the whole community has pitched in together to make these families ( who are dispersed throughout Derbyshire ) welcome.

Independent Examiners Reports to The Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2022

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 6 to 14.

Respective Responsibilities Of Trustees And The Examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.

follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, as amended); and state whether matters have come to my attention.

Basis Of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention other than that disclosed below:

1 Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or

2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Concerns encountered during the course of the independent examination were: -

Records and evidence were incomplete with respect to income received relating to donations and fundraising.

value of gifts received and in assets acquired. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

1.5 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in the support of the charitable activities.

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimated and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
