Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
In carrying out the charity's activities the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissioner's guidance on public benefit. The Charity manages an Islamic Centre where regular prayers are held. This is to provide a place of worship for the local Muslim population. The centre also provides a place to educate the community with religious and historical studies and get help and guidace in time of needs in all aspects of life.
Every year we mark the anniversary of Srebrenica genocide and other key events in our (Bosnia Herzegovina) history. We also participate in various religious activities on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.
In the past the Chairty managed three shops, but post Covid-19, the operation has been reduced to only 1 shop. The higher taxes and rates are making it impossible to continue running shops and the Trustees are monitoring the situation closely and will decide the fate of the 1 remining shop.
Funds are being spent on expansion of the Centre to cater for more public during congregations and other community activities.
Financial Review
Financial Position
